This was a really fun surprise.

In a world where the light is gone, and plunged into darkness, we have a world where people can transform into monsters if the darkness takes over them. In this we have our main lead, Val, who actually was legally blind prior to the events. Now set in a world filled with darkness, she feels she has the power to survive with her little brother. In this post apocalyptical world we have Val take a job against her better judgement, which leads to a man in all black (like his whole body is just completely black save his teeth) now chasing them.

This was a lot of fun. From the kickass action, to Val being a badass, to the lore and world be interesting I really dug this. Scott Snyder stepping away from DC helped him a lot it seems because this is more inline with the Snyder I grew up loving. I also really liked the ending, as it doesn't end on a "happy" note and we might be more fucked than we imagined. I really hope this continues to be a strong series.

A 4 out of 5.
