Imagine being unconscious while the apocalypse unfolds, then waking up with no memories to a new and terrifying world, in which danger seems to lurk around every corner. That’s the situation which young Amelia Sky finds herself in, in the first part of this epic sci-fi/horror comic series, by Jermaine M. Boyd and Gwynne Tavares.

Boyd really does create an incredibly scary new world, with plenty of horrendous touches that remind us, and poor Amelia herself, that we aren’t in Kansas any more. The detailed,  painterly and dark style employed by Tavares is a perfect complement to Boyd’s script, and we’re given enough tantalising details, dropped right from the opening scene, to make us want to find out exactly what happened, who Amelia is, and what’s going to transpire next.

It’s excellent stuff, taking a massive apocalyptic event and zeroing in on a single character to give it a more intimate and personal feel. On the strength of this first issue, I’m definitely looking forward to reading more!

Many thanks to Jermaine M. Boyd for sending me Amelia Sky #1 for review purposes. You can buy the first issue from Amazon here.
