How does it feel to be the last living member of your species?

Extinction by Phoebe Mol is a poetry comic that follows a solitary creature foggily recalling their past companion, moving towards an otherworldly reunion. Immersed in emotion and ecology, and full of whimsical imagination, this comic composes a visual music all its own.

"The tangled pencil compositions of Phoebe Mol’s singular comic novella “Extinction” move like a cluster of maypop vines stretching over a forgotten hedge-maze. Reading it is simultaneously disorienting and comforting: you’re at once lost in a faraway botanical otherworld, wriggling among humanoid plants and alien insects, and right at home, cozied up against the mysterious longing we all carry for something essential and ever-receding. It’s a lonesome, playful, dream of a comic that reminded me, among other things, of why I first fell in love with the medium." -Kevin Reilly, To Mak Patar
