Breathers follows a small cast of individuals as they struggle to make sense of the dystopian world they live in, as a virus is unleashed into the air, rendering it deadly to humans. Among them: a detective whose addiction to the drug known as "Filter K" takes over his life; a brother and sister who, due to recent events, start to wonder if the air really is deadly, or if it's all just a conspiracy; a mother and daughter who will do anything to keep their family together; and a breather salesman who is looking to make amends for his past mistakes. They are all survivors of this virus-plagued world. They are all "breathers." Variant covmore
Madson's artwork reminds me of Matt Kindt's a bit. His is more refined and clear than Kindt's, and the lettering here is unique to the story. You get pulled in to this book, mainly for the characters we meet briefly. I like the vibe I got from this issue. So much so that I have already preordered the second issue as well.
