Wow! Get ready for some good old fashioned story tellin'. By the quality of the introductory chapters and the character development so far, the author makes clear that we can expect a full exploration of the philosophical implications of the scenario he's set up. Here's what has happened to our characters so far: they've awakened after their deaths in some kind of afterlife, which resembles a weird gigantic city filled with everyone who's ever died, and there's no sun. They have to get used to their apparently meaningless new life with individually varying levels of death-trauma-induced amnesia. With no sign of any keepers in this lonely afterlife, friendship, love, work, business and religion run rampant. We have not yet found out what the title means in relation to the story. This compelling tale is served well by the author's accessable comic-book drawing style and the flashes of humorous comic relief, helping draw the reader in unawares. The author has gained a lot of artistic confidence since his first major story A God's Life, now completed, and it just keeps getting better. It is nice to find somebody out there not afraid to tinker with the basic metaphisical questions and write a good story in the process.
