Deus Ex: Children's Crusade #1
With society still reeling from the Aug Incident - the Illuminati orchestrated event which caused augmented individuals to mindlessly attack their 'natural' counterparts - anti-aug sentiment is at an all-time global high. Task Force 29 - an Interpol-funded coalition, created to quash the rising tide of terrorist activity - stands as the world's main defence against total anarchy.
In the city of Prague, where tension is especially high, the team's latest recruit, Adam Jensen, readies for his first mission with the unit. But being augmented himself, how will the former SWAT officer handle himself when faced with the grim reality of the mechanical apartheid?
Welcome to the darker side of Deus Ex in this thrilling prologue to the upcoming new instalment, Deus Mankind Divided.

The story has definitely caught my interest and I look forward to reading more. The art was nice, though not particularly memorable. There was an overarching news report bit that I found distracting and unnecessary, but other than that, it was good.

The augs/human conflict mirrors some of the real world issues we are dealing with, and I like how it was crafted in a way that seems plausible. Not sure anyone without an adequate understanding of who Jensen is might be able to jump into this headfirst.

It is a good prequel to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Nevertheless it is nearly impossible to understand for a first-time readers, as a lot of meaning is due to personality traits of characters, mainly Adam Jensen.
For fans of the series, though, it is a must read.
