How exactly would an Evil Empire effect pop culture? This oneissue of EE follows the path of a mega celebrity and gives us a glimpse into what sort of countera society so lost could create. Illustrated by special guest artist Tyler Crook (B.P.R.D., BAD BLOOD).
What's perhaps most fascinating about this book is the fact that you can't help but think - even with the dystopian fiction set aside - that at least a little bit of this comes from a place of truth. As a musician himself, it's eye-opening to see Diamonds struggle with the concept of reinvention, time and time again, trying to use his art to separate himself and to affect change - and then to have that same music put him in a box in the eyes of his fans, his critics, and his society. This story could have been a separate series on its own, if not for a handful of bloody scenes that ties it into the greater Evil Empire arc - and the final page is about as cheeky of a closer as I've seen since Mark Millar and J.G. Jones' Wanted. Read Full Review
