My first graphic novel of 2022 is a resounding success.
A bunch of 20something year olds surviving in the world of gig economy, apps, and 90s nostalgia. But living in a giant bubble. Ona distant planet. In a distant (or not so distant, whatever you consider the end of the 2100s to be) future. What madness is this? Well, that dear readers, is the madness of The Bubble. The awesomely hilarious high-octane satirical adventure adapted from a podcast this reviewer has never heard of, but then again, this reviewer is nowhere near hip enough for podcasts. So, what do a bunch of millennials do in the future, in a world remarkably similar and deliciously different from ours? They slay imps – the monstrous creatures who are native to the planet and like to get into the bubble and make snacks out of its denizens. Slaying imps is the latest in gig economy. All the kids are doing it. Some with more skill and panache than others. This is their story. And it’s so much fun. Genuinely funny, too. I laughed out loud reading it, a bunch of times, and how often are things that funny anymore? Especially things involving millennials, futuristic or otherwise, a generation generally too precocious and precious for pure laughs. The art was good too, bright, vivid, and exciting, it brought all the action scenes to life very nicely. Overall, it’s just such a fun world to visit and hang out in for a while. I enjoyed it very much. Recommended.
