Customer Reviews
Honestly I can’t recommend this series enough.
Johnathan Hickman has all the signs of being one of comics best new writers.
In Nightly News we get a fun, edgy story about a cult of assassins out to kill news reporters, and that is only the beginning. There are so many amazing things in this graphic novel from a very original art style to the research done into the news industry, to the just plain amazing writing in this book.
Honestly, buy this book
You’ll be happy you did

This is not a comic book.
I don’t know what it is…or, rather, there’s not yet a word in the language for this new thing.
The Chomsky-quoting politics annoy me a bit, but the graphic design of this comic book is going to make waves that won’t settle down for decades. This is something entirely new – full page, double page spreads, no frames, infographics and footnotes sprinkled across the page. Footnotes and cynical asides from the author scattered here and there. Distressed logos, ink spattered pages, a look like USA infographics took a bunch of crystal meth and then swallowed three dozen cutting edge web-2.0 websites.
I really can’t rave about the artwork here enough.
And the writing! Even though I can’t stand the politics (and Jonathan Hickman tries to distance himself from them, but I’m not swallowing that disclaimer 100%), he’s taking big bold steps in a way that I haven’t seen since “V for Vendetta”.
Wow.
Go buy this. Now.
