Blame! is an absolute nightmare.

Blame! feels more like a tone poem than a narrative. There isn't a terribly coherent story. No clear goal or destination. Characterization is vague at best. The whole thing feels somewhat surreal.

What you do get is an exploration of a truly hellish city that's completely devoid of humanity. Every panel feels claustrophobic and threatening.

Reading Blame! was a weird kind of torture and I'm honestly not sure if I enjoyed this series or not. It was off-putting and I frequently wanted to just stop reading. But it's engaging and fascinating in a way I don't ... understand. I had to see what happened next. I wanted to see where the story would go.
