The Nightly News
by Jonathan Hickman
I think my favorite part of this whole book is Hickman's final words. It made the most sense of it all haha.
So what's this about? Well a bunch of news or media people are getting shot in the head. Like Bam, boom, head gone or big motherfucking hole in the head. Why? Because a group of people are being controlled by "The Voice" and told to do these awful things. With a abstract look of it all, not common comic paneling, and a ton of philosophy questions, the comic begins a dark spiral trip down a dark way.
Good: Really enjoyed a lot of the dialog. The back and forth made me think, made me question things, made me scared of my own thoughts sometimes even. The twist and turns kept me intrigued and really loved the ending. I also thought the structure was well done and told a complete, one shot story.
Bad: The art isn't my favorite. Can't really tell who is who. Everything is blotchy and dark. The structure is hard to follow at first and takes awhile to get used to. The questions are tough and maybe a bit too wordy for some.
Overall this was pretty interesting comic. I don't know if I'd suggest it to a new comic reader but once you read a few, this is something to check out since it's SO different. I'd go with a 3.5 out of 5.
