Book Reviews of Gone with the Blastwave, Vol. 1
Book Review: "I just killed a guy with a rock". "Cool".
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's the short version: 1 Post Apocalyptic City + 2 Lost Soldiers + (Lots of Enemy Soldiers x 2 Competence)= Good Times.
It's difficult to say whether the writing or illustrations are the bigger draw. It's probably a pointless argument since both are necessary to complement each other. The artwork is fitting for the topic: washed out colors and faded edges set the perfect mood for what should be the leftovers of a nuclear fallout. The text and scenarios however are disturbingly equal parts morbid and hilarious, but without actually mocking the subjects of death and war. It's more of a personal journey of two discarded soldiers trying to survive in a land where nothing survived.
Even if you're not usually a fan of webcomics, Gone With the Blastwave can stand on its own as a serious publication and work of art and literature.
Besides, its only five bucks and a webcomic artist has to eat.
