Diving into ‘Us On The Water’ feels akin to gazing upon a reflection that draws you deep within its poignant waves. With Baebsae’s nuanced storytelling, we discover the labyrinth of human emotions interlaced with nature’s merciless truths about climate change. Each turn of the page unleashes stunning imagery drawn by Walpae, depicting not just destruction but hope blossoming amidst despair—a fragile bloom pushing through urban detritus and encroaching tides in evocative technicolor illustrations reminiscent of both indie zines from New York alleyways and grand galleries in London.

Bij het openen van de eerste pagina’s van ‘Us On The Water’ voelde ik eerst een flinke dosis scepsis. Een comic boek met klimaatverandering als achtergrond, dacht ik? Maar naarmate Hoju en Han-Byeol hun reis ondernamen door mysterieuze omgevingen die schijnbaar zijn gescheurd door tijd en omstandigheden, begon de betovering me te grijpen. De artistieke expressie vangt zowel schoonheid als urgentie; wat ooit onze huizen waren lijkt nu opgeslokt te zijn door wildgroei en vreemde incidenten. Dit verhaal schept een krachtige band tussen moeder en dochter terwijl ze navigeren door angstige avonturen met hoopvolle uitkomsten – het laat je beseffen dat iedere actie voor verandering groot kan zijn, hoe klein je ook mag lijken in deze oceaan aan onvrede.
Finn Rau from Hamburg, Deutschland –
Alter, dieser Comic! Total packend und super emotional. Hoju und ihre Tochter Han-Byeol reisen zurück in ihre Heimat – einfach Wahnsinn, wie die Vergangenheit mit der Gegenwart verknüpft wird! Die Kunst ist mega stark und diese mysteriösen Vorkommnisse lassen einem kein Auge zuknipsen. Ich meine, der Anstieg des Meeresspiegels als Kulisse? Ziemlich realistisch angelegt! Das hebt so viele wichtige Themen auf spielerische Weise an. Echt ’ne gute Lektüre für Leute, die ein bisschen nachdenklichen Spaß wollen!

Each panel bursts with emotional depth—rendered not just in visuals but also in immersive storytelling that breathes life into ancestral ties and urban myths resurrected from their watery graves. Readers are drawn into rich Korean cultural motifs while grappling with poignant questions about home, resilience, and survival under duress as climate catastrophes reshuffle narratives rooted deep within one’s soul.
