Imagine someone like, say, Mark Zuckerberg created his own army of tech-obsessed teens and directed them to take on the government. What would the fallout be? Charley “Thumbs” Fellows is a member of just such an army. Poor and raised by the influential MOM™ app, he finds himself in the center of a war. The Social Network meets Blade Runner in this big event book from the team that brought you the hit series THE FEW!
I picked up this comic because I thought the cover looked cool. The artwork was unique and added to the sci fi / dystopian themes. The plot wasn’t original and some of the dialogue was cheesy. Since it’s only 5 issues I’m going to read the rest. This issue ended in a cliffhanger and I really want to know what’s going to happen next.
I saw this at a local comic store with an endorsement from the owner and decided to get it. I enjoyed the first issue and then got the other two. It’s very sci-fi, dystopian and yet quite relevant to how technology is taking over our society.
The art has its own charm and appeal that meshes well with the story. I like that it’s not overly realistic since the story is so very sci-fi. The story, unfortunately, reads like something that I’ve read before, but in a generic way. To me, it felt like the Matrix meets Ready Player One. I have a two issue policy that I try to go by, so it has one more issue to improve before I decide on rather or not to drop the title.
