Definitely not a kiddie comic. Hinterkind is a post-apocalyptic world of human survivors along with a resurgence of the mythic races - elves, trolls, goblins, etc. Imagine the cities of Will Smith's "I Am Legend" all overgrown and filled with feral animals. Now add in scattered enclaves of human survivors living in relatively low-tech villages. With me so far? Then mix in some formerly human types (a cross between the think tank from "Night of the Comet" and Bruce Campbell's character in "Escape from L.A."). If that weren't enough, there are all those nonhuman races out of the past - and many of them are intent on rounding up and exterminating the last of the humans so the world can be reclaimed minus mankind.

With all the violence and harsh language, this is a series for older teens and adults. Fans of shows like "The Walking Dead," "Falling Skies," or "Revolution" will enjoy this version of man's attempt to survive the end of the world.

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
