Calexit by Matteo Pizzolo
2.0
Calexit is one of those books that has incredibly great potential. It's got a strong and well-thought out world and premise, I love the back of the book where they break down the factions, the symbols etc. I want to believe it gets better which is why I gave it three stars.
But the story itself has so much misogyny it reeks. All of the background done aside...tthe presumably strong female character comes off as the straw-man “social justice warrior” that kills out of principal without any though whatsoever as to consequences.
I nursed a child, I love seeing breastfeeding in a comic but the circumstances in this one was exploitative and unnecessary. It was cheap and made zero sense even in context except as shorthand for how evil the big bad is or how dark the world is.
I feel the comic is riddled with caricatures and I feel it comes at the expense of genuine characters.
