I've never played it.
It does seem to be a strange choice for an action-adventure comedy series, but I actually found this to work quite well, largely based in the chemistry of the co-leads (Mackie as the 'milkman' John Doe, hired to deliver a package cross country and encountering Beatriz's Quiet along the way) and the antagonist played by Thomas Haden-Church.
Oh, and never forgetting the murderous clown Sweet Tooth who steals pretty much every scene he is in ...

Mar 9, 2025 (Updated Mar 9, 2025)
With his son sick and running out of life-saving medicine, Mackie's character Will resolves to travel 'below the line' to the nearest hospital, alongside his now-deceased wife's best friend and the woman whom he blames for said wife's death, in an attempt to procure more medicine and return back home with the same.
Film has a mid-credit scene, that sets up where the sequel (if it comes!) will go!

Post-apocalyptic books are a dime a dozen and I've read many over the years, with varying degrees of success. When I first picked up My Name is Monster I was worried it would be nothing new, but it's actually a very interesting read that I struggled to put down. The beginning of the story isn't anything different with a lone survivor scavenging in an empty world (I kept picturing something similar to 28 Days Later minus the infected), but it's how it's written that really got me hooked. I really liked the writing style and the short chapters, and I think Monster's plight was interesting. My biggest issue was with the second part of the book. There's a lot of questioning around mother, creator etc which was fine, but I found it got a little rambling at times which made it slower to get through. I also had to suspend my disbelief at how easy something was for her as it is a teensy bit ridiculous.
But that said, this is still a very enjoyable book and worth a read, especially if you enjoy post-apocalyptic stories.

This story is told from multiple perspectives, giving the reader a well-rounded view of what's happening. It moves at a fast pace so prepare yourself. I found I needed to concentrate on the story as otherwise, something would happen that I might miss which affected the whole timeline.
I'm not sure if this is the first book in a series as there seem to be questions left unanswered and open-ended storylines. However, saying that, this was a great read about their time in Gambir and the people who lived there.
There are some errors where the wrong word is used (but correctly spelt) but this didn't have too great an impact on my enjoyment.
Definitely recommended for all post-apocalyptic fantasy fans out there.
