BOOKLIST (STARRED) -- Inthe future, everyone will have an alias. In a world where all online secretshave been revealed, people now adopt aliases and masks to hide their privatelives; it's the perfect place for a private investigator, like PI. When hisclient is murdered hours after assigning him, PI and his assistants violentlyunravel a conspiracy bigger than any of them, aiming to change the course ofsociety. Vaughan (Saga,2012), known for his unique world building and suspenseful story arcs, haspossibly outdone himself with this one. Combining the archetypes of a grippingnoir mystery with commentary on contemporary obsession with social media, hetells a story as poignant as it is compelling. In one sense, calling this uniquevolume a graphic novel does not do it justice, as the oblong, widescreen formatof the book makes it more cinematic than merely graphic, expertly mimicking thevery film genres that inspired it. Martin's character design elevates this tobreathtaking art, adding a richly colored, retro-futurist flare to every costumeand backdrop. With stunning artwork, propulsive sequential-art storytelling, anda thought-provoking premise, this is truly one of akind.
