The most beautiful beach in the North Sea

Review of the comic “The most beautiful beach in the North Sea”

Oh, the end of the world! What a pity that we are not here to see it and upload such a world event to our instas, eh?! We will be more busy trying to get to safety in an underground bunker to protect ourselves from the atomic mushroom cloud, or putting earth in the middle by stepping on the accelerator, avoiding the meteorites that brush past us and opening craters here and there, or sharpening our aim against the skulls of a unified zombie mass that our tasty and appetizing brain has smelled…

Anyway, we are used to very Hollywood endings of the world, with explosions, with guys full of adrenaline ordering things at the top of their voices, with things flying through the air, the ground opening under the feet of the protagonists, frozen cities and devastated fields. by the lava of some volcano with a bad awakening.

But not here. Here, in this comic, I mean, everything is calm because there are almost no people on Earth anymore, since the water level has risen and, we don’t know how, it doesn’t really matter to us nor does it affect the story, but almost all of the The world left the planet and only nostalgia and melancholy remained, like in a Lars von Trier movie.

A melancholic end of the world, there, in the north of the north, almost next to the wall that separates us from the white walkers… where the days last an eternity and are blue, white and purple, which gives us an even more intense feeling of cold and loneliness. April is the cruelest month. Surely the action of The most beautiful beach in the North Sea happens during that month.

A meeting expected by a couple. We don’t know much about her. We know nothing about them. A promised meeting, a strange date, perhaps the last date of two people in this dying world, in an empty cafeteria where they still serve coffee…

Science fiction of the most elliptical and disconcerting nature, which offers us a story of love? Of heartbreak? Anyway, it’s weird as hell, but that doesn’t make it any less interesting. People who are there because they don’t seem to care at all, who seem like fucking icebergs, even though the voice in off of the girl indicates otherwise, even though when you see the couple together, you try to understand what has brought them there, as if you were a common maruja. Have they been a couple? Lovers? It could be one, the other, and both, or mere acquaintances who once locked eyes when the world was still the known world…

The most beautiful beach in the North Sea, it is read in zero comma, and reading is a saying because it barely has words, but it is one of those books that stay because it puts ideas in your head that are not easy to dissipate. Where the hell does the girl have to go? As if she had anything better to do! Well, she will know that I neither enter nor leave everyone’s life…

As I said, a comic to relax with a careful drawing, with a cold range of colors and in general to enjoy a story that catches us without us even realizing it.
