Publisher: Aftershock Comics
Genre: Graphic Novel/ Satire
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Author Patrick Kindlon's latest work is interesting, suspenseful and an eye-opener. The work is a satirical take on the consumer society of today's world, where a handful of people enjoys all the riches pf the world whereas the others live their lives in utter despair.
The plot follows the character of Nussbaum, who works as a loss prevention staff and he is the best in his work. He belongs to that kind of a person who can't be prevented from catching the shoplifters. But His life turns upside down when he discovers a society living under the retail outlet. The things he observed there forces him to question his beliefs.
Would he be able to get himself put from this state of confusion?
Would he be able to discover himself in a new way?
To know these, you have to go through the work.
Review:
Patrick Kindlon has presented the issues of poverty, crime and human rights through the story in the most beautiful way possible. Patrick Kindlon is a master storyteller which is very much evident from the way he has presented the story and makes the reader question and evaluate his/her thoughts. I absolutely loved yhe choice of words and character construction.
Stefano Simeone has done an equally impressive work. Through the mastery of his art he has painted a world where there is so much evil but yet a still ray of hope is lingering somewhere deep down.
Overall, it was a fascinating experience going through the work. I highly recommend this book to all the Graphic novel fans out there and give it 4.5 stars for the concept, plot and character construction and the overall presentation.
Happy Reading
