"Two hundred years in the future, refugees from an environmental cataclysm have fled underground. They survive, scrounging out a living in a twisted maze of tunnels and canals. Scavengers, mistitfs, bandits, renegades and mutants are among the citizens of this subterranean realm. They are sewerfolk, their home, the bowels of a utopian city that was never completed. Life is hard enough, but an overzealous mining company, PERCH wants to get their claws on this new underground frontier and they don't mind bulldozing any sewerfolk that get in their way. Caught in the middle is a young girl, Cricket. She's in a desperate search to find her family that fled underground. Join Cricket as she explores this savage new world, to find her parents and unlock the secrets of a past long forgotten, in the three-part graphic novel series for all ages, Knee Deep."--Amazon.

Knee Deep is an interesting post-apocalypse story. It follows Cricket, a young girl trying to find out what happened to her parents after their "disappearance". Her entire family works for PERCH, a militarized mining company, tasked with mining a mineral needed to assure the continuation of human life after the apocalypse. One weird thing is that I noticed the plot description describes the sewer people living in "the bowels of a utopian city that was never completed". The story itself never mentions this, so some of the locations confused me since I thought they were living in the sewers of the PERCH facility, not an entire city. The characters are interesting, and the designs of characters in the sewer can flip-flop wildly between terrifying and goofy. Some things are a bit too much on the nose, however. In the background of the office for the head of PERCH, there's a Nazi Eagle statue, and the owner of Kamikaze Corral is a Japanese man. I winced a bit seeing that Eagle. Sure, maybe the intended audience of middle schoolers won't realize what it is, but as the adult looking over it for them...yikes. Also, a cute nod to Gravity Falls with the Dipper hat. The art style was interesting. Not really to my taste, but it was good in its technical aspects. The story just felt very fast and they rushed you through the world-building a bit quicker than I would have liked. It is the first volume so I can excuse it a little bit, since most series like to info dump in the first volume, so they can focus solely on the plot in the next volumes. ( )
