Inspired by Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, Sprawl 2 continues the successful blend of Felix Cheong’s poetry and Arif Rafhan’s comic book art. It is at once refreshing, cinematic and an entertaining read.
The second book of the Sprawl universe follows the trials and travails of Jack, a nightshift taxi driver. Forced out of his home by a tycoon’s unscrupulous land grab, he retaliates in the only way a former soldier knows how – violence. But with the help of an intrepid reporter, Jack manages to change the rules of the game – with devastating consequences.
And a pause was not in the vocabulary when I continued to read “𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐥: 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧.” ‘Money as the source of evil’—I guess it depends on whoever holds one. This graphic novel is another story of every people living in slums demolished to pave for state of art smart communities soon to arise. If only kindness and compassion in the name of humanity go along with it, then there will be no bloodshed and vengeance. I prepared for the worst in the last pages but the last line pulled a trigger and hit me in the bull’s eye while contentment still hung in the grip of my hand.
