There are three main reasons I have found to love this hidden gem of the internet.
First is the glorious artwork. the maker somehow combines live-action photographs (of abandoned areas in the real world and actors in outfits), hand-drawn art, props, and Photoshop to create the most jaw-droppingly beautiful post-apocalyptic scenery I have ever seen.
I have a special thing for this sort of thing, being a fan of stories set after the nuclear apocalypse (I avidly play the Fallout games, and plan to pick up S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl somewhere down the line) but I don't see any reason why anyone wouldn't like what this work has to offer.
The second reason is the humor. Perhaps surprisingly, this is something of a comedy. Said comedy mainly comes from the sheer insanity of the cast of human survivors. The Ca-that is, ZEE CAPTAIN simply has to be seen to be believed. My favorite would have to be Charles Snippy, the
And the third is the story. Yes, it has quite the story. To begin with, the comic is really just a set of aimless wanderings through the bleak beauty mixed with silly-but-fun humor, with the odd lemonade cult thrown in. then, things start to pick up. New characters are met (human and otherwise), the exact causes of the the apocalypse are slowly brought to light, we learn some interesting backstory on the characters, and the characters are faced with truly terrifying antagonists. It's deep, convoluted, and exciting stuff.
Seriously, there is no reason not to check out this work of art. Take a look. It's free, and it's awesome.
