Action packed dystopian suburban teen adventure with lots of mystery & unexplained weird (but probably not supernatural) stuff. As someone who has never watched The Warriors, I have the feeling that I am not fully qualified to review this book. That said, the different kids gangs that seemed to be based on professions or institutions of our world (e.g. the police, the old folks home, the bank, & the record store) kind of reminded me of a similar idea in J.G. Ballard's Hello America (e.g. “the Trophy Wives”). The whole plot also makes me think of Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, in which she invites us to imagine the middle ages as a world that was to a large extent run by teenagers. A story set in the dark ages surrounded by the ruins of modern society further cements this book's connection between Ballard & Tuchman in my mind. I probably shouldn't have picked up a “vol. 1” book that came out so recently. I can't wait for the next one!
