3 out of 5 stars

A group of teenagers have been trained to terraform a distant planet, but their spaceship stalls and they are awakened out of cryostasis ten years too early. They explore a nearby planet looking for supplies, and a mysterious presence begins to make itself known.

This graphic novel was a little too scary for me. There is some gore and blood that was gross.

Clementine: Book One
by Tillie Walden

2 out of 5 stars

Clementine is struggling to survive on her own in a world full of zombies. She has had one of her legs amputated, and has to hobble along travelling north. Sometimes she meets people, but is reluctant to trust anyone. Amos is an Amish teen, leaving his homestead community to look for work in the mountains. They travel together for a few days and develop a tenuous friendship. But the world is cruel and people can’t be trusted.

I was not a fan of the graphic violence and profanity in this book. I understand that obviously a book about zombies is going to have some serious violence, so I expected that. But the profanity was just completely unnecessary. If it had been just one or two words, then I might have overlooked it; but it got worse as the book went on.
