Heres Paul Smiths review of the first volume… A lethal sickness has killed off billions, and amongst depleted humanity are hybrid children born with animalistic features.

Our antlered boy and his grizzled protector endeavour to create a substitute father-son relationship, each helping the other.

Theres even a touch ofThe VillageandPlanet Of The Apesthrown in for good measure.

Innocence is teamed with cynicism in this modern parable that treads the dark and light sides of human nature.
