Divided States of Hysteria
by Howard Chaykin
If there was a zero star option this would get it.
The divided states of hysteria is bad. In every possible way. It's not just a bad story, because it is, but the art is TERRIBLE. It's hard to read, follow, and enjoy at all. I'm all for artist/writers expressing their opinion on current political affairs even if I don't agree. IN here Howard takes the largest sterotypes and places them on every character. It's his views on the world and how it's heading and what's happening.
Stories such as a bunch of people fucking a prostitute who is a trans and then the prostitute is the one getting arrested. Another of a black man shooting a bunch of white people and then going to jail. Another of a bunch of woman, pregnant, blowing themselves up in the middle of a busy city. What this it all add to? What's it talking about? Nothing. It's like a empty story that tries to begin to pick up steam by adding in a detective and the president trying to figure it all out, the hysteria part, but it's so awfully done you can't help but laugh.
The art is horrendous. You have twitter/text blobs all over the background of the page to say we're stuck on social media (get it guys, cause it's hip). Everybody in here is ugly and looks gritty for the sake of being gritty. Less said about this terrible art design the better.
The story is written by someone who is honestly out of touch with reality if you ask me. It's like a guy who writes about what he HEARS instead of experiences. I honestly don't recommend this to anyone. This is by far the worst book I read of the year, and might be top 10 worst books I've ever read. A 0 out of 5.
