4.0

I really liked this book! The first half is a lot of setup for a quite confusing concept (at first), so it can feel a little slow. However, it really picks up in the second half and ends up, not only making more sense, but also being a very interesting piece about the state artists are left in when their work is treated as expendable. I loved the characters of the MTMH story, but I also found all the Dave Bakers quite interesting! The dystopian future narrated by magazine writer Dave Baker was also, while funny and absurd, deeply disturbing (which is what every good dystopian should do). Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this book and would definitely recommend you give it a read if you are looking for a story/comic you've likely not read before.
