I am happy to start reading this series by Tom Morello. I enjoy the dynamics of the story, the art is beautiful, and the understanding of both class struggle and enviormental degradation are a great component of this dystopic comic.

I'm all for dystopian graphic novels and Orchid was a pretty interesting one. Though the artwork was one to get used you, the worldbuilding really did the story justice. I loved the raw nature of this and the artwork did help bring that nature out. Nothing dulled down or censored so those who get queasy, this story will really send your stomach through a loop.
The air of the characters really did help me enjoy the story by Morello. I just wish there was more background and development to the characters especially the main ones: Orchid and Simon. If volume two can pick up the pace and define them more, I'm sure I'll be dying to read volume three.

Written by Rage Against the Machine's guitar player. The setting is interesting: a sort of South American anti-colonial fantasy, where a mask bearing the flag of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation grants mystical powers, but only to the righteous. The unrighteous just get choked out.
