4.5 really as I really enjoyed this book and cant wait to see how Hull is going to deal with what he found out about his bestfriend's life. Lee tho is spunky. I hope she fucks some shit up.
Rating: 3.5/5 – In a futuristic world of turmoil, BlackAcre stands as the last American cityCollecting BlackAcre #1-5As a budget-conscious comic book reader, I appreciate when a publisher like Image Comics provides inexpensive access to their books. Image typically releases their trade paperbacks, specifically the first volumes, in the $9.99 price range. BlackAcre, is the name of the last American city in a world that has fallen to pieces. The city was established by a group of ultra-rich to saf...
sold read. sold art. halfway through I got a little bored, but by the end I've come around a little. might pick up volume 2
Maybe 3 1/2 stars.
I didn't feel that I could give this volume a fourth star because almost everyone in the book is a bad person. Seriously, there is maybe one sympathetic character, and only because of her stubbornness and victimhood. The protagonist is not really one, just a survivor who has worked for the bad guys successfully.That said, this is one of the few dystopian stories where the elite group running the "one surviving piece of civilization" has thought about what comes next. That's a plus. The unexplain...
A near future America divided between the ultimate gated community, and hardscrabble rustics who are pretty much Handmaid's Tale on a budget. It's competently told and entirely too plausible, yet somehow never quite comes alive.
An intriguing post apocalyptic last bastion story mixed with spec ops and religion. Perfect!
Coyer Summer BashThis is a dark but possible lok at a future after global enviromental crisis. BalckAcre is an oasis for the rich and middle class. As generations pass the complex thrives but doesnt expand. Scouts sent to see the world beyond the city are turning up dead until one man manages to servive and experience the harsh life of a religious cult like culture. A rivieting read
Gripping dystopian story with political intrigue, religious warring, and plenty of twists and turns. Definitely best to suggest to adults and older teens who don't mind sex, violence, and language.
A fun read!
I am interested to see what happens next but i hear its on hiatus or something like that.Wasn't the girl bit younger when we first see her and suddenly she is like grown up at the end of the book?
Intriguing premise, if not entirely feasible, but it makes for some ripe potential in the drama dept. Would make a decent TV show.
This is a promising start. The characters and execution raise it to a level I wasn't expecting, given how worn out the concept sounds at first blush.
