I Will Not Die Alone por Dera White
This book starts off with cute affirmations and motivational pages. It keeps these things as it goes along but the tone shifts to something heavier and more serious. I didn't expect a book with cute animals to make me grapple with my life and the possible end of days but here we are! I highly recommend, it's short and sweet.
I initially thought this was for children due to the cover. Great artwork with a good premise. The ending was a bit of a shocker though.

(Full disclosure: I received a free electronic ARC of this book for review through Netgalley.)
Initially, I WILL NOT DIE ALONE feels a lot like a compendium of cute, motivational comics in the vein of chibird (e.g., LOADING PENGUIN HUGS) or wawawiwa (WHEN SHARKS ATTACK WITH KINDNESS). The book's opening act is chock full of encouraging strips, like "I am enough" and "I am going to eat this like no one is watching," all accompanied by anthropomorphized animals for that extra adorable factor. But shit gets real, real fast when a stargazing mole pursuing his passion for astronomy discovers that an asteroid is headed straight for earth.
If this sounds grim, that's because IT IS. But White and Bennett still manage to find hope at the end of the world. (Well, for some of us, anyway. Spoiler alert: the cockroach barrista does not die at all.) It's a jarring, unexpected juxtaposition of charm and terror that, weirdly, works.
