The world is in the grips of an economic crisis. Due to mass unemployment, advanced technology has been outlawed. The world is now divided between those with implanted technology and those without. When the world's most famous anti-tech crusader dies and is resurrected using the illegal technology he has sworn to eliminate, he must decide who to fight with his terrifying new powers. From visionary Grammy-nominated producer and DJ, Steve Aoki, and Eisner award-winning writer Jim Krueger, with art by Neil Edwards and Jheremy Raapack.
It is tough to review each aspect separately with Neon Future. Change one aspect and you would have a completely different experience. Everything about this book works so well together. The colors chosen between the real world and the dream world drastically change, which helps sell the grittiness of the reality. There is a lot of dialogue and worldbuilding needed, but it never disrupts the story. The lettering is clear and expertly arranged. I picked up this book because of the cover, but less than five pages into the book I added it to my pull list. This is a top-notch book put together by a team who works flawlessly together. I cannot wait to see what they do next. Read Full Review
NEON FUTURE #1 sets readers up with a phenomenal story. Visually stunning, this comic is definitely something you don't want to sleep on. With some of the population accepting technology into their life, how will they survive the laws against them? Read Full Review
A lot of familiar elements with some new twists, all delivered with excellent art. This book has tons of potential. Read Full Review
The premise sounds interesting, but the first issue doesn't do much to introduce the world or endear the characters to the reader. I find the plot particularly difficult to follow after we seem to transition to a later date and everyone is acting counter to their expressed motivations. It's just messy.
