Not really as inexplicable as claimed. The story and action are relatively clear: this recounts the events of an apocalypse, and if the particulars may be unfathomable by design, the trajectory is familiar. The dualing-government-agencies semi-noir plot attempts to humanize this for the audience a bit, but probably serves to muddle it further since Nihei doesn't seem interested in the interpersonal dimensions in the least. His concerns are fundamentally inhuman. To the extent that this doesn't work for me, its because without that human dimension it's difficult to care about all the action sequences, or about what happens at all when it escalates so quickly. But once the scope of the disaster dwarfs the human completely (in no more than an aside, we learn that (view spoiler)[everyone in the world may be dead!! (hide spoiler)]) and renders it completely unimportant, this becomes, instead, beautiful.
