What's The Furthest Place From Here, Volume 1 by Matt Rosenberg
New York Public Library “Best New Comics of 2022 for Adults!” List From Eisner nominated artist Tyler Boss (4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, Dead Dog's Bite) and bestselling writer Matthew Rosenberg (DC vs. Vampires, Uncanny X-Men) comes an epic adventure about growing up and getting lost at the end of the world. When 16 year-old Sid goes missing in the wastelands, it's up to the members of her gang to try to discover what happened. But what they find is a whole world beyond anything they could imagine. Like Lord of the Rings meets Lord of the Flies, or John Carpenter by way of John Hughes, this series smashes together sci-fi and fantasy with elements of comedy, horror, and mystery for an emotional coming-of-age story unlike anything you've read before. This oversized volume collects the first arc of the breakout hit series James Tynion IV calls "What the future of comics SHOULD feel like." Collects issues 1-6.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- In this canny sci-fi thriller from Boss and Rosenberg, the writer-artist team behind 4 Kids Walk into a Bank, readers are thrown headfirst into a bewildering postapocalyptic worldGangs of young people squat in abandoned buildings, scavenge ruins for clues to the past, feud with one another, and take food supplies and orders from mysterious beings called the Strangers. Pregnant teenager Sid belongs to the Academy, a gang headquartered in a record store whose members keep vinyl albums as personal totems. A rupture in the uneasy peace between the “families” sends Sid on a journey to answer questions about her bewildering society, with the Academy on her trail. Boss's vibrant art has a gently cartoonified, design-centered appeal, similar to stylish superhero artists like David Aja and Chris Samnee, with offbeat abandoned cities, seedy exurban ruins refurbished Mad Max style, and arresting set pieces like a nightmarish carnival. The bone-cracking brawls allow Boss and Rosenberg to fill the pages with a seemingly endless array of weird street gangs-it's hard to miss the obvious influence of the '80s cult classic movie The Warriors-while stealthily developing the details of the kids' makeshift society. The script clips quickly but is slow to give up its secrets. Fans of smart science fiction will anxiously await the next installment. (July)
