Alien meets A Quiet Place in this science fiction tale of terror for fans of Josh Malerman’s Bird Box and Tim Lebbon’s The Silence about a post-apocalyptic world in which monsters hunt the things that make us human – where feeling is a dangerous thing.
Live. Laugh. Love. Scream.
DIE.
Dax and Bisa love each other. But in this new and terrifying world, love is
dangerous. Feeling anything is dangerous. Love. Hate. Joy. Fear. Any of
these in strong doses will bring a swift death. Earth has a new and terrible
invader—monsters that smell the scent of emotion, salivate over the prey, and
hunt the very feelings that make us human. A shocking tale of pent-up emotions
and forced composure in the face of unspeakable horror…from one of the most
celebrated writers in comics, Peter Milligan (X-Force, Enigma, Shade
the Changing Man, Hellblazer) and breakout horror artist Sally Cantirino (I
Walk With Monsters, The Final Girls).
Collects the entire eight-issue series.
Reviews:
“I read this at a gasp, horrified by the bloody events as much as the too-familiar feel of a society self-destructing–even before the monsters come. A palpitating whirlwind of a start.” — Daniel Kraus (New York Times bestselling author of The Shape of Water, Trollhunters, The Teddies Saga, and Vault Comics’ The Autumnal)
“As brilliant and incisive as ever, Peter Milligan questions what makes us human,and what motivates us to make the terrible decisions we inevitably make.”– Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men, Eternals; The Wicked + The Divine; Once & Future)
“Human Remains might be the scariest Vault series to date.” – Gate
Crashers
“a brutal, visceral, soul crushing world where the barest hint of emotion can
lead to a violent and bloody death.” — Multiversity Comics
Why Should You Read This?
In today’s world, where showing emotions is considered a weakness, the book’s central theme is bang on. The characters’ struggle with suppressing their emotions is impactful. The artwork is very good, and they have used bright colours to showcase the goriness the story. A very interesting dystopian idea. It is a solid page turner, however, it did take me some time to buy into the concept. A definite recommendation for graphic novels, sci-fi, and lovers of dark themes.
About Peter Milligan:
Peter Milligan is a legendary British writer of
comics, film, and television. One of Entertainment Weekly’s “it”
writers of the early 2000s, Peter Milligan was at the forefront of
the revolution in comics which were created for a more sophisticated, adult
audience.
Shade the Changing Man for Vertigo offered a skewered look
at American culture, while Enigma, Face, The Extremist, and Rogan Gosh pushed
the boundaries of what comic books could do. Milligan was the
longest-running writer of the cult horror comic Hellblazer, and his
take on Human Target inspired the TV series. For Marvel, the
hugely-popular X-Statix was a radical reworking of the X-Man
paradigm, described by Kevin Smith (CLERKS etc) as “the most well-observed
scholarly analysis of media-manipulation filtered through a pop-culture lens
ever committed to the page”.
Milligan is the screenwriter of Pilgrim AKA Inferno (2000)
and An Angel For May (2002) and currently is the co-creator
and writer of Human Remains for Vault Comics
