The Comic

  • The biggest is the numerous shots of the immediate aftermath of the plague.
  • 355's flashback where she learns that her family is dead isn't easy to read.
  • Or when she's killed right after she and Yorick admit their love for each other.
  • Or 87-year-old Yorick's incredible bitterness after spending his whole life without her.
  • For anybody that has a pet they love, the scene where Yorick takes a dying Ampersand to his burial spot - close to what appears to be 355's - could be tough to read.
    Yorick: They said it wouldn't hurt, Amp. I...I didn't want you to hurt anymore. They promised it would be quick. (after feeding Ampersand a poisoned grape) Why the fuck did I do that?
  • Yorick and Beth's long-awaited reunion. Yorick is unable to believe that Beth is right there, believing it to just be a dream. Beth tells him it isn't, and they share a bittersweet moment together made all the more heart-wretching by what happens later.
  • It gets worse: "Yorick? Where did the Israelis go?" 'Away.' "Where's 355? . . . Oh. Oh man." Then issue 60 makes it worse with the flashback.
  • At the end of the astronaut arc the shuttle crashes, and the woman survives while the two men die, because she is pregnant. At the end, when she is asked whose baby it is, she responds:
    I don't know. I loved them so much. I loved them both so fucking much.
