Why this pick
A young outsider’s journey into a threatened mythic world gives it a similar sense of discovery and peril, though its ornate hand-drawn style is more luminous than 9’s industrial gloom.

01 / THE STORY
A rag doll that awakens in a postapocalyptic future holds the key to humanity's salvation.
When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good.
