Jul 11, 2023One part 'American Graffiti' and another part 'Mad Max', 'Duck And Cover' #1 is a thrilling, genre-blending adventure that does away with the rosy glow of nostalgia to depict a darker, more divided America as it really was, but with the added danger of a bleak, world-threatening apocalypse.

Jul 12, 2023'Duck and Cover' takes familiar coming-of-age stories into harrowing new territory. Snyder combines nostalgia, fear, violence, and catastrophe into a compelling new thriller. Albuquerque and Maoilo bring it all to vivid life in all its frightening ugliness. This historical retelling of the age of the atomic bomb is a gripping read that draws the reader in with a well-worn set-up and then turns the story on its head. A fantastic debut issue.

Excellent book, just picked up the first three issues after not having heard about it before a few days ago. #1 did a good job introducing the characters, showing us who they are and why they are, and then flipping their world upside down. I look forward to finishing this one.
