It’s like ‘V for Vendetta’ but packs more violent a punch. Opal leads the crusade and with Anzio rescued by Simon’s rebellion…Orchid and company are at a crossroads. Ways out of this mess are limited and the rebels are faced with testing times. How to escape the lair of a certain diabolical despot…whose origins are revealed in a realistic yet underwhelming tale? That aside, the story evokes enough sympathy for the revolt while encompassed in Jackson/Hepburn’s gory and primal action panels. There’s a lot at stake here and Morello’s raging story shows just why the machine he’s created here is provocative and enjoyable.

Tom Morello has always been a favorite musician of mine and the worlds/animals crafted here in this dystopian wilderness really stand out under the art team of Hepburn/Jackson. They alter the feel of the book so well and the art is near flawless and intriguing. The story catches and piques interest a lot with its glamorous lattice of romance embedded in a tale of repression, technological disaster, natural evolution and in a world where only the strong will survive. It adds an endearing feel amid Jackson/Hepburn's immaculate art.
