Nicely different zombie-styled drama, in a post-apocalyptic world where food is the greatest currency, unless you're one of the kids focused on here, in which case it's book knowledge. He's trying to rob the library of an old man who's managed to fend off all dangers and not been turned into a 'slobberer', but he's still going to have to join in with his cohorts – the great majority of adults have been infected, and it's every kid for him- or herself. There's a great visual effect with the weather system that seems to be behind some of the zombification, and the style of the creature the turned call 'Master' is excellent, too. With the creators taking time to introduce the idea of a sort of superpower, as well, there're no signs of how many books we can expect in this series, but many encouraging signs that they'll all be enjoyable.

Creatures is set in a post-apocalyptic world after the "Big Night" which turned all the adults into zombie-like creatures, leaving the children to survive on their own. This graphic novel treads some familiar territory, namely Omega Man and H.P. Lovecraft while keeping the formula fresh by focusing on the kids (and one with some pretty cool psionic powers). I particularly enjoyed the quality of the artwork, with lots of creepy, Lovecraftian visuals. Creatures kept me engaged enough to want to know what happens next, or rather, in the next issue.

I have no idea what this was all about.
It was way too jumbled and not enough information was given.

It is some kind of post-apocalyptic world where only kids are normal(?) and adults crave sugar(??) or whatever, and there is this strange creature who is a master of the adults and an albino black kid who has some powers(???)

It was really too weak and low in information for me to have liked it.

Imagine Omega Man, in a world where Lovecraftian monsters caused people to become mindless zombies, and it only affected the grown-ups. Omega Man meets Peter Pan as written by H.P. Lovecraft, basically. There's plenty of humor, very enjoyable characters and a surprising plot unfolding in the background...

The world has ended and all the adults have been turned into zombies. Two small groups of children are struggling to survive. While stealing some food, the bigger group discovers a child with powers to make himself and others invisible to the zombies. The groups come together to escape the zombies, but the bigger group intends to exploit the other to find food. They run away and go back to their apartment only to be kidnapped by the zombies. Meanwhile, the clouds are gathering and the worst is yet to come.

Wow! What a fantastic weave of characters living in a post-apocalyptic New York City, struggling to survive a gritty, changing landscape of horrific zombies and a strange green fog. Action-packed with frightening, nightmarish creatures and jump-scare scenarios. The perfect setup for a frenetic new series.
