In this futuristic dark comedy by Eisner and 'Ringo Award-winning writer Mark Russell, life and death are ruled by social media. One too many dislikes...and you're dead.
When Arnold awakes from a coma twenty years into the future, he discovers that society is now ruled by social media. Enough "likes" and "upvotes" can unlock fame and fortune but - watch your step! - enough "thumbs down" clicks and the collar around your neck explodes. And you're done. Now, confused and running on his last Like, Arnold must navigate a world in which the slightest online misstep can have fatal consequences.
By now if you see Mark Russell's name on the front of a comic we recommend you just pick it up, Death Ratio'd is no different. Russell and Laci have created a dark satirical one-shot that will have you laughing as well as crying at the all-to-real world of social media and its influence on our lives. It's a perfect blend of satire, comedy, social commentary, great writing and immensely creative artwork. Read Full Review
If you've liked Russell's previous satirical work, you'll likely put this one at the top of the list of best yet. That's in part due to the horrific nature of social media, something that's far scarier by the day, but also due to the many clever and sometimes laugh-out-loud hilarious twists on how much worse social media could be. Death Ratio'd is a fantastic one-shot that you'll put down and, deep down, wish you had more. Orwellian, absurdly funny, and existential in its brilliance. Read Full Review
