No Mercy, Volume 3 by Alex de Campi
4.0
Surprise! The icky wannabe global hipster's story get gruesome and interesting! DeCampi is a fucking genius!
Series:
A fresh departure from the futuristic dystopia flavor of the day, No Mercy is story that dwells in the possible, digs its heels in and never stops reminding you of its plausibility. DeCampi avoids the trap of portraying teens as one dimensional quip machines, shaping each intricate character from panel one. That authenticity plants the seed for wild anxiety once things start to go wrong. The characters are truly diverse, and their personal struggles are as twisty and dangerous as the terrain they find themselves stranded in. With references in art and word to manga, teen movie tropes, and millennial stereotypes, No Mercy manages to flow from youthful comedy to the darkest of observations with ease. Easily the most surprising series Image has going right now (Fall 2017.)
