The premiere graphic novel from underground sensation Andrew MacLean (Head Lopper), ApocalyptiGirl is an action-packed sci-fi epic!
Alone at the end of the world, Aria is woman with a mission! Traipsing through an overgrown city with her only companion, a cat named Jelly Beans, Aria's search for an ancient relic with immeasurable power has been fruitless so far. But when a run in with a creepy savage sets her on a path to complete her quest, she'll face death head on in the hopes of claiming her prize and, if all goes according to plan, finally returning home.

Bought off of an Amazon Recommendation

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

Purchased this since it was on the best sellers list for graphic novels. Can't say that I see the appeal, at least when comparing to other graphic novels such as The Watchmen. The story wasn't bad, it just wasn't very complex; felt more like a short story than anything. Could be that I just had my expectations higher than they should've been giving it's purchase ranking. In the end, this is more of a rental from the library than one to add to your collection.

Andrew MacLean - An Incredible Artist

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

Andrew MacLean is an outstanding artist and dynamic storyteller. ApocalyptiGirl is a must-read story with one of a kind art. If you enjoy artists who emphasize shape dynamics and utilize exciting color choices then this book is for you. The art alone makes this a great buy, and a price like this is hard to beat. Andrew will also be releasing a Trade Paperback edition of Head Lopper. If you enjoy this art style, check out Head Lopper and see it amped up even further.

A Book Is A Wonderous Thing

A fun, gripping read!

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2015

Luv Andrew McLean's art and comix's entire vibe. The story may be minimalist, but it succeeds where few comix do: It creates a future world you really feel is alive. It definitely leaves you "wanting more" too ... unlike so many that jabber in dialogue and fake "character development" scenes but end up saying nothing. THIS is one of my fav comix in a long time, a less-complex PROPHET but still very sci-fi trippy!

The story was pretty good especially since it was driven by one character.
I really wanted to see and learn more about the environment which is great for a book to do.
The are was really nice too as it is its own flavor.

Nice look into a world of future mystique and fantasy. Great action and a good arc that has a satisfying briskness. An Aria indeed!

Very beautiful, wish it was longer

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2015

I'm absolutely in love with the artwork and usage of color in this book. It's a beautiful concept with a lot more lore than they had time to get into . This could easily have been an outstanding series with plenty to offer, so my only complaint is trying to fit so much of this big idea into such a short book. I'm noticing this has been a consistent problem with graphic novels for me. The level of detail you could get from a regular novel cannot be matched through images, which themselves offer a broader sense of imagery and allow for less descriptive detail. Anyway, back to the book, for what graphic novels typically seem to accomplish in my experience, this one did a good job and it was worth it, if not for the artwork alone.

So ontop of my order arriving a week early- This comic is adorable. The art style is different which isn't a bad thing, and it's a neat story on a girl and her cat surviving in a destroyed world. I loved it. :3 (added a photo for you too see more of the art style)

Soaring Claws

Vague Can Be Very Very Good

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

ApocalyptiGirl is not at all like what other things I've been reading lately. I tend to prefer things that are a little light with lots of character development and lots of kickass women, heavy on the playful dialogue when possible. This kind of checked the boxes and was completely different at the same time. This story had an eerie realism to it that kept it from being light, despite the joking and mostly light thoughts of Aria. She is definitely kickass and it's pretty easy to get a sense of who she is. Other reviews have criticized this story for not having enough explanation of what is going on and I actually consider that to be its greatest strength. It reveals without giving you all the dirt. It entices without telling you everything, leaving the reader to fill in the gaps with possible explanations. It keeps a certain distance from current affairs that gives it an almost mythical/parable feel without the preachy tones. So I liked it. Not an all time favorite, but one I'm happy to have added to my library.

Thumbs Up!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2017

This is something that seems to have been published more to get it out of the author’s head than to share its wisdom with us. It is certainly bold and quirky with an unexpected twist. It’s intriguing and enjoyable to read but doesn’t leave you feeling richer afterwards.

The art is great. It definitely has a brave and distinctive style. Most of the backgrounds are coloured, albeit with pattern rather than detail. It certainly suits the tone of the piece.

Thumbs Up!
