Quick Review
This first collected volume of The Last Mermaid is packed with action, excellent worldbuilding, and a mermaid piloting a mech with her axolotl companion. This has been my favourite ongoing comic this year, and this collection brings together the first arc in a stunning way that feels more kinetic. There’s not a lot of additional content, but the small collection of art to close the volume is lovely. Derek Kirk Kim has created something magical with this comic.
Description
A lone mermaid roams an endless wasteland on a quest beyond reason. To press ever onward, she must survive the interminable stretches between tiny pockets of water, roaming bands of cybernetic cannibals and fearsome mutant beasts. What propels her forward to take such a risk? And who is that cloaked figure watching her from afar…?
