Beskrivning

New York Public Library “Best New Comics of 2022 for Adults!” List From Eisner nominated artist Tyler Boss (4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, Dead Dog's Bite) and bestselling writer Matthew Rosenberg (DC vs. Vampires, Uncanny X-Men) comes an epic adventure about growing up and getting lost at the end of the world. When 16 year-old Sid goes missing in the wastelands, it's up to the members of her gang to try to discover what happened. But what they find is a whole world beyond anything they could imagine. Like Lord of the Rings meets Lord of the Flies, or John Carpenter by way of John Hughes, this series smashes together sci-fi and fantasy with elements of comedy, horror, and mystery for an emotional coming-of-age story unlike anything you've read before. This oversized volume collects the first arc of the breakout hit series James Tynion IV calls "What the future of comics SHOULD feel like." Collects issues 1-6.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- In this canny sci-fi thrillerfrom Boss and Rosenberg, the writer-artist team behind 4 Kids Walk into a Bank,readers are thrown headfirst into a bewildering postapocalyptic world. Gangs ofyoung people squat in abandoned buildings, scavenge ruins for clues to the past,feud with one another, and take food supplies and orders from mysterious beingscalled the Strangers. Pregnant teenager Sid belongs to the Academy, a gangheadquartered in a record store whose members keep vinyl albums as personaltotems. A rupture in the uneasy peace between the “families” sendsSid on a journey to answer questions about her bewildering society, with theAcademy on her trail. Boss's vibrant art has a gently cartoonified,design-centered appeal, similar to stylish superhero artists like David Aja andChris Samnee, with offbeat abandoned cities, seedy exurban ruins refurbished MadMax style, and arresting set pieces like a nightmarish carnival. Thebone-cracking brawls allow Boss and Rosenberg to fill the pages with a seeminglyendless array of weird street gangs-it's hard to miss the obvious influence ofthe '80s cult classic movie The Warriors-while stealthily developing the detailsof the kids' makeshift society. The script clips quickly but is slow to give upits secrets. Fans of smart science fiction will anxiously await the nextinstallment. (July)
