james_desantis 's review for:
Eugenic
by James Tynion IV
This is a meaty comic that makes you think about a lot while reading it.
When the population of the world is shrinking due to a virus, one person figures out a cure. Everyone stops dying and we can begin to grow again! But then when the first woman gives birth it's...a creature of some sort coming out. We will come to call them Numans. This story starts off with the cure, part 2 is about the rebellion of the new race of people, and then the utopia, if you can call it that, and what's happening.
Good: I love the idea behind this. It's both horrific and understandable all at once. The three part series actually works in jumps of time and doesn't feel badly done. I also enjoyed the end of each chapter as it gives a nice "what happens now?"
Bad: I wish we had more time in each era. Maybe 50 pages in each to really get it all. Also, this is a lot of exposition verses dialog or natural talking. It can be a bit much at times.
Overall it's a solid, interesting, and somewhat depressing look at the world. When you fix one thing, another terrible thing grows, and is there ever really a cure for that? A 3.5 out of 5.
