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.
Richard Dent is the creator of the graphic series "Myopia" from Dynamite Entertainment. His poetry and fiction have won numerous awards, and he teaches at Cal State, Los Angeles, and in the National University MFA program.
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 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.
