Myopia #1

Myopia #1

Rate this book
Based on an award-winning story by writer Rich Dent, “Myopia” merges speculative fiction and steampunk into a thrilling alternative reality. Armed with a special set of lenses that make him almost invisible inside the Central Lens Network, James Chase sets out on a mission to stop the new world order’s violation of the Magnetic Energy Agreement. At first sold as a device to make life more convenient, the lens now works as a tool for the government to hide the devastation unleashed from excessive mining of the earth’s core.

Myopia migrated over from a successful Kickstarter supported by many writers and artists including George R.R. Martin, Margaret Atwood, Dean Koontz, and Jim Butcher.

At 1st, I felt silly reading a comic book. Let's face it, I'm no spring chicken anymore. As I read it though, I found myself really loving it and the pictures were amazing. Great job! I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I felt like I was a kid again. Thank you for that!

I found this issue to be interesting, but I did have a hard time following along at time. It seemed to jump around the plot at times, which made it difficult for me to understand what was going on at different points. I still thought that the world building and characters were interesting.

I would like to thank Diamond Books for providing me with a copy.

This comic gives you just enough to be drawn in. But it does tend to jump around a little too much. If it did not jump around so much it would be easier to follow. But still a decent read with a interesting story line.

I just bought this book for my son. He loved the artwork and said it was a good story. He can’t wait to read the 2nd edition!

I loved this book! I thought the world was well thought out and the plot was fast paced and so interesting! Very dystopian and a cool look at what the future could be like.
