SERIES PREMIERE!
The United States of America-after the Second Civil War.
Two lovers meet. One: a straight-edge vegan hacker anarchist boy with a penchant for messing with the State. The other: a chaotic, hedonistic cop with a reality TV show and a license to kill. This really shouldn't happen-and yet, somehow, it does. And soon, the entire state of New California is after them.
This ballistic sci-fi action romance miniseries-in the vein of Mad Max and Romeo and Juliet-from ALEŠ KOT, TRADD MOORE, and HEATHER MOORE begins with a massive-sized debut issue, and features a backup comic introducing t more
The New World is one of those books that feels so distinct and fully realized that it’s impossible to ignore -it’s a world full of danger and intrigue, but it’s one that’s also undeniably beautiful, with so many details that you can’t help but want to explore. It is certainly a triumph for this entire creative team, which seems to be enjoying pushing themselves to the absolute limit to see what they can come up with next. Combining themes of love, culture, politics and violence, The New World is one of the best debuts of the year, and one that should not be ignored. Read Full Review
The New World #1 is a much needed reminder that joy and struggle occur simultaneously. Read Full Review
While the star-crossed lovers premise sounds familiar (SAGA anyone?), THE NEW WORLD #1 is surprisingly excellent. The story is instantly captivating from the moment readers are introduced to its protagonists. Once the prologue ends, the story kicks into high gear and doesn't let go until the very last page. This is easily one of Image Comics' best mini-series. If you're looking for a new twist on ROMEO AND JULIET, you won't want to miss this sci-fi romance thriller. Read Full Review
Every month it seems like Image is releasing another can't miss, must add to the reading stack list. The New World #1 is an amazing visual spectacle paired with sharp dialogue. It's got a fun premise and looks like it will be one of the top books for the rest of 2018. Read Full Review

This is an audacious, bold and striking debut. Read Full Review
The New World#1 is the socially responsible young people falling in love story that we deserve in summer of 2018 featuring smart world building and tongue in cheek humor from Ales Kot and jaw dropping visuals from Tradd Moore and Heather Moore. Don't forget “ACAB” though. Read Full Review
This is a great first issue, and at 60 pages is a hefty introduction to the five-part miniseries. Hopefully, Kot and Moore can continue expanding upon this world they've created and deliver an enjoyable and memorable read in the issues to come. Read Full Review
First issues either excel strongly, making it impossible not to follow, fail miserably, making it impossible to follow, or show some potential but was decent. This falls closest to the latter. This issue serves as a lead-in, not a wonderful one-off. As the series progresses it may easily become such a rewarding issue, but it is too soon to tell. Read Full Review
The New World #1 is an interesting social commentary populated by compelling characters and a premise that is almost perfect for the comic medium. Tradd and Heather Moore bring some great artwork to this project too. Check this one out. I recommend it. Read Full Review
Overall this is very well-crafted and well-paced. And, with four more issues to come, there is scope for a really tantalising tale to emerge. But dont take my word for it. Im only here to point you in the direction, its up to you to go see for yourself. Its certainly worth the cover price. Read Full Review
I like this series so far, the criticism is really just my own, but if you want to see what I'm talking about go get this issue. It does have a unique story and art that I'm sure will appeal to a lot of fans. Read Full Review
What may end up being yet another take on the collapse of the American century, The New World starts with the familiar, and promises to take the audience to unexpected places. This tale of star crossed lovers at the end of the world, at least looks great, the rest remains to be seen. Read Full Review
The New World #1 is a good first issue, polished and confident. Theres a lot of disparate ideas, though, and at times it can be hard to tell which ones were supposed to care the most about. Still, this comic hooked me for the next issue or two based on the strength of its artwork alone. Read Full Review
Of course, Rotten came back stronger with Public Image Ltd, so maybe Kots on to something after all. Read Full Review
The biggest issue I have with this book is the story. It just feels all over the place and I had such a hard time focusing on it. There is just too much going on and it shows. If it was just the one story and one or two subplots it would be fine but it feels like there is too much to swallow. Read Full Review
The New World #1 is an all right read. If you're a fan of Saga, Romeo and Juliet, or troubled love stories I suspect this is for you. For me, it was so-so, because I've read the other stories I've mentioned. It's not a bad book and the art has some shining moments, but the first issue is also the last I'll be picking up.

These characters - gah! - they are so delightfully flawed. Kirby's dad is most relatable. Stella's grandfather is CREEPY. It's such a great premise and a wonderful ride!
Fantastic new series. The story is fun and intriguing and Tradd's art is unbelievable. The line art precision and time it must take him to finish a page does doe not get past me. Well done guys!
The unexpected MVC of the week! Awesome story and art! I’m on board for more!
