The End of the Fucking World

Omg. Both shocking and hilarious. I'm so torn.

2.5

Sparse art translates the story perfectly. Created with punk attitude without any blows & whistles, the word ‘bare-bone' also comes to mind. Haven't seen TV series yet. I hope they didn't turn this into another sterile polished up waste-of-time.

An intriguing, brutal indie graphic novel. This is not an enjoyable read, necessarily: how could reading about sociopaths murdering people be? But it is certainly original: I appreciated the dry, crackling, Schultzian art; it called to mind the whole “mind numbing post-modern suburbia” vibe, as well as (I guess?) the emotionless vacuum of the protagonists.

Edited, in Jan 2018: This is being turned into a Netflix series!??!! BOLD. I am intrigued.
