Nocterra, Vol. 1: Full Throttle Dark

A bit of a dim start to what could be a shining series.
A pair of adopted siblings just trying to survive eternal darkness! After an event called the PM covers the world in darkness, two kids grow up to be truckers that are hoping to find somewhere safe enough to settle down for good. Also people turn into shade monsters.
I am having a tough time deciding how much I liked this comic. It’s cliche but does it well enough that you don’t mind it being predictable. At the same time, I wish it wasn’t as wordy as it is. Lots of the same stories retold, some seem to be a distraction so you can’t tell how simple/easy the story transitions are. You don’t see it as much when you read it in issues, month to month. In a volume, it’s a little much. However! There were a few things that I did really enjoy. The art being the main one. You would think that by issue 3/4 the art would start to lag or maybe feel rushed but the art stays consistent and I really liked the character designs. Valentina was probably my favorite of the group. There were moments were I thought of Rick Remender Death or Glory, seeing some similarities. I think Snyder did it better.
Some of the story is a little dragged out but obviously they are going to do more. Will probably read them in issues again.
