This comic really has me in a very different place than most science-fiction stories move me to. I want the future NOT to win for a change! I can tell you, that's very odd for me when I'm reading science fiction. I have always felt the future is unavoidable, so we must embrace it. I want the opposite to happen in Join the Future.

The opening installment of this had me sold when it hit a few months ago and I'm glad to finally be able to start moving forward with this again. Kaplan's a writer whose works I generally like a lot, though some I've struggled with, but when they click with me I'm pretty all-in on them and this is definitely one of those. Piotr Kowalski nails the visual design of this perfectly and the color design is perfect in bringing us that kind of cleaner and clearer look of the countryside in the future even where man exists. I do hope we'll see more of the future city stuff itself and explore it and its history a bit more but right now Clem's journey looks to be a lot of fun, if familiar, with the potential for some neat execution to it.

I liked this second issue because it blends sci-fi with the western themes well. It also stands to offer a strong statement on how much we're willing to do as a society to ensure everyone gets the same pleasures it has to offer. At what point are we forcing our ideas and ideals on others and actually doing more harm than good? It's questions like this that prove this, and all sci-fi is more necessary than ever.

Even as both parties in the central conflict still have some promising qualities, there's a sense that Join the Future is teeing up a dystopian epic that just might rival The Hunger Games. Read Full Review

The limited scope of the story might change in future issues, but as of now this feels like a very familiar tale with slight twists in setting and conflict. Comics can take us places film and television simply cannot, both in story-telling and scope. This book simply feels like it was created to sell as a script rather than trying to give us something with depth and character work. The story might benefit from an expansion of the cast, more focus on the villains and some time spent in the city. Thus far it is a beautiful book with very limited imagination. Read Full Review

This issue has me more on board than the first issue did, and Im fully intending to read the next one, but I am a tentative about where the series is going. If you like pretty horses or westerns focused on social progress, Id recommend this. Read Full Review
