Gone with the Blastwave' has always been one of those niche comics that feels like a hidden gem. The first volume, as far as I recall, clocks in at around 48 pages. It's not a massive tome, but what it lacks in length, it makes up for in sheer personality. The black-and-white art style and the dry humor give it this unique charm that's hard to find elsewhere. I love how it balances absurdity with a surprisingly thoughtful take on war and boredom.
If you're new to it, don't expect a sprawling epic—it's more of a quick, witty bite. The brevity works in its favor, though. Each page feels deliberate, and the pacing never drags. I've reread it a few times, and it still cracks me up. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy dark comedy with a minimalist vibe.
48 pages. That's it. But don't let the page count fool you—'Gone with the Blastwave' packs a punch. The way it juxtaposes mundane soldier life with apocalyptic chaos is brilliant. It's like 'waiting for godot' meets 'Mad Max,' but with way more explosions and existential dread. I stumbled upon it years ago and still recommend it to anyone who likes their comedy with a side of nihilism.
48 pages, and every one of them is gold. 'Gone with the Blastwave' is this weird little masterpiece that feels like it shouldn't work but totally does. The pacing is tight, the jokes land, and the whole thing has this offbeat rhythm that's just addictive. I wish there were more volumes, but maybe its brevity is part of the charm.
I'd say 'Gone with the Blastwave' Vol. 1 is a quick read at 48 pages, but it's one of those comics that sticks with you. The minimalist art and the absurd dialogue create this weirdly immersive experience. It's not about the length; it's about the vibe. Every time I flip through it, I notice some new detail or joke I missed before. Perfect for fans of dark humor and post-apocalyptic settings.
Oh, 'Gone with the Blastwave'! That takes me back. The first volume is pretty short—just 48 pages. But honestly, it's the kind of comic where less is more. The humor is so deadpan, and the art is so stylized that you end up lingering on each panel anyway. I remember loaning my copy to a friend, and they finished it in one sitting but kept quoting it for weeks. It's got this cult following for a reason.

Life comes hard and fast for Kendra and her family in a dystopian world that is struggling to recover from a nuclear war and is now under the rule of an alien government.
Unaware of the impending alien invasion, a group of scientists -which included Kendra's parents- were ordered to create a zombie virus and set it loose on Russia. The intention was to subdue Russia and then release the cure, but the alien attack took them unawares and the scientists and their cure disappeared, leaving the virus to run rampant. Having been inoculated against the virus, Kendra's aunt is one of these scientists who has kept her identity a secret for fear of being made a slave to the alien government. When a village that is connected to the people who moved underground for survival kidnaps Kendra in hopes that they can harvest any memories of her parents discussing the cure while she was a mere infant with the use of an experimental machine, her aunt must decide about coming forth with her identity. In the meantime, along with dealing with the ever-rising population of zombies, the alien regime -which considers humans a delicacy for their dinner table – sets out to correct and purify the human race from those who were mutated in some way by the nuclear explosions. Rex is one of those humans. He is also Kendra’s lover.
“Where Zombies Walk” is Book One of Kendra’s Journey in a world that offers steamy romance, nail biting peril, and thrills, and a paradise-like sanctuary within its core. All she has to do is make her way there.
"You taste of another wolf's territory, Draven. Wash his scent from your skin, or do not dare demand my submission tonight."
For three agonizing winters, omega wolf Lardon Vexley played the flawless, hidden lodge master to the brutal Alpha-Prime, Draven Calder. He endured the pack's cruelty, silenced his own roar, and sacrificed his elite status as a Skyfang Rift Engineering scholar—all to secure a secret mating bond with a beast who treats him like a glorified kennel keeper. But when Draven ignites the sacred crest flares for his high-born lover, Mireya Duskrell, Lardon realizes his silent devotion has earned him nothing but a broken pack-vow and a terminal case of silver-rot eating through his ribs.
With his remaining moons numbered, Lardon chooses to reclaim his wild instincts. He signs the dissolution scrolls, strips off his collar, and walks into the cold wilderness to resurrect his buried dreams at Nighthowl Systems, guided by his former childhood protector turned powerful rogue, Aziel Crowbane.
But an Alpha-Prime does not surrender his property so easily. When Draven tracks his runaway mate down to a dark, secluded den, the confrontation burns with years of unspoken, toxic fixation.
"You think a piece of signed parchment severs what is etched into your bones, Lardon?" Draven growled, his powerful claws pinning the omega against the rough stone wall, his tongue forcefully tracing the sensitive, throbbing skin of Lardon's unbitten neck. "Scream your defiance all you want, but your wolf still slicks the furs the moment my shadows wrap around your thighs. Let me feel how desperate you are to be ruined by my fangs again."
Will Lardon survive the lethal decay in his bloodline, or will the predatory obsession of two dominant Alphas tear his world to shreds?
After failing a bomb disposal mission, my wife, who's also a bomb disposal expert, gives my shield to her true love.
I grab her hand and plead with her not to do it, but she shoves me away. "You're so selfish! You have a system that can revive you—why do you even need the shield? Jeremy is already weak, to begin with. He can't handle any impact and needs two shields to keep him safe!"
She doesn't know that the system has only given me two chances to be revived. I used the first chance when she begged me to save Jeremy Sawyer. During a mission last year, I used the second chance to save her from the brink of death.
It looks like I'm going to die today.

"Toby... what have you done?"
The colony world of Horus was a blissful utopia... until a curious little boy made one mistake and sent the world into a downward spiral of self-destruction. The world's gods were revealed to be nothing more than computers... and those computers are now failing.
To pay for his mistake, Toby Spafford, now a man, must travel the deadly, ruined streets to find three missing keys that can activate a backup system created by his grandfather, Professor Jonathan Spafford. Dogging his every move are various factions that have grown to like the taste of power over the helpless citizens, and they'll do anything to stop him.
In his favor, he is determined, intelligent, bitterly stubborn, and resourceful. Unfortunately... so are his enemies.

I just got my hands on 'BRZRKR' Volume 1 a few weeks ago, and it’s been a wild ride! The physical copy is hefty—like, you can feel the weight of Keanu Reeves’ chaotic energy in it. After flipping through, I counted around 160 pages, but it’s not just about the number. The art by Ron Garney is so visceral that some panels feel like they could take up a whole page by themselves. The story’s pacing is breakneck, so even though it’s not the longest graphic novel out there, every page packs a punch. Honestly, I finished it in one sitting and immediately wanted more.
If you’re into gritty, hyper-violent action with a mythological twist, this one’s a no-brainer. The page count might seem modest, but the content is dense—like a compressed explosion. And hey, the oversized hardcover format makes it feel even more substantial. Definitely worth shelf space for fans of 'Hellboy' or 'Old Man Logan.'
Man, I remember hunting for 'Gone with the Blastwave' a while back—such a gem! The webcomic’s vibe is this darkly hilarious take on post-apocalyptic life, and it’s totally worth tracking down. Unfortunately, the creator, Kimmo Lemetti, hasn’t made it officially free online in a single volume format. Your best bet is checking out his Tumblr (blastwave-comic.tumblr.com) where he’s posted most of the strips over the years. It’s not a neatly packaged Vol. 1, but you can binge-read the archives there.
Some fan sites or aggregators might’ve scraped it together, but I’d caution against those—quality’s iffy, and it doesn’t support the artist. Lemetti’s been on/off with updates, so the Tumblr’s the closest to a 'legit' free source. Honestly, if you dig it, consider grabbing the physical copy later. The dry humor and minimalist art hit even better in print.
