I don't understand what all these fags kept saying that it has no story. It has plenty of story, especially in the latter chapters.
Ironically I do not like the latter chapters, they feel like they waste too much time on 1 plot compared to the 1st chapter where he's wandering around like he's Samurai Jack doing episodic shit while constantly failing at his main objective but without it being annoying.
Also the storytelling was not what I was expecting at all which is a breath of fresh air. It isn't wasting time.
I was expecting a lot of filler of him wandering around a town with giant Strider creatures just talking and a lot of talking between characters. I was expecting a lot of talking instead I get met with the equivalent of Samurai Jack.
Ironically there isn't enough wandering around , there's only ever 2-3 pages of background scenery before he goes on with the plot/action at hand.
The only chapter where it actually is full on wandering around for 30+ pages is Chapter 37 where he and Cibo wander around.
Ironically it shows how streamlined linear story can get in the way of other things such as exploration and characters having time to interact with one another.
You ADHD zoomers and gen-alphas really need to appreciate slower paced things.

Oh yeah one more thing... despite all the creepy imagery Blame!'s atmosphere is nothing like a horror, it's more like an action silent film and a spaghetti western. I also do not find porcelain dolls and deformed skulls horrorfying, just sad and unsettling.
The artwork is still good, but not as good as the cover implies. There's plenty of plot. The characters do have a lot of fish eye syndrome and a lot of poker faces going on, only in the first few panels does the artist attempt to give them slight grins, smiles, frowns and Cibo's personality completely dissipates after her introduction.
