A note for parents
This is a mature graphic novel that tackles heavy themes including police violence, grief, and revenge set against a horror/sci-fi premise. While it explores meaningful social issues and features strong character development, the content is dark and violent, with graphic depictions suitable for older teens rather than younger readers. The story rewards contemplation of complex moral questions but does not offer clear positive resolutions.
