"TEotFW follows James and Alyssa, two teenagers living a
seemingly typical teen experience as they face the fear of coming
adulthood. Forsman tells their story through each character's
perspective, jumping between points of view with each chapter. But
quickly, this somewhat familiar teenage experience takes a more
nihilistic turn as James's character exhibits a rapidly forming
sociopathy that threatens both of their futures. He harbors violent
fantasies and begins to act on them, while Alyssa remains as willfully
ignorant for as long as she can, blinded by young love.
Forsman's story highlights the disdain, fear and existential search that many teenagers fear, but through a road
trip drama that owes as much to Badlands as The Catcher in the Rye. Forsman’s inviting, Charles Schulz-influenced style lends a deadpan quality that underscores the narrative's tension. The End of the Fucking World is certain to be one of the most talked-about graphic novels of 2013."
