Second City
Story by PaulDuncan
Art by Phil Elliott
In the city, there is quiet. In the city, the people do as they are
told. There is no contact between them, ever. Artificial insemination
for reproduction, multiple-way televisions for social contact, robots
for menial tasks. The only people who get to meet others are the
hunters, the people sent to investigate deaths, and deal death
themselves if need be. The only interaction is outside the city, in the
slums. Everyone knows that. But then one of the hunters is invited into
a conspiracy, a plan to destroy the city from the inside.
This book, combining a semi-Orwellian view of society's future with a
grandeur of scale reminiscent of Matt Wagner's Grendel series, is told
in gripping six page segments, rendered excellently by Phil Elliot, and
portrays characterisation and social change in a brilliant manner.
Simply wonderful.
