If you’re into comics that mix sci-fi and western vibes, 'Isom #1' is a must-read. The plot centers on a guy named Isom, who’s basically the last line of defense against these terrifying creatures roaming the wastelands. But here’s the twist: the comic doesn’t just focus on the action (though there’s plenty of that). It digs into Isom’s past and the guilt he carries, which adds this emotional layer to all the chaos. The world-building is subtle but effective—you get glimpses of how society collapsed and how people like Isom are both feared and needed. The dialogue’s snappy, and the creature designs are chef’s kiss. It’s one of those first issues that leaves you with more questions than answers, but in the best way possible.
I just finished reading 'Isom #1' last week, and wow, what a ride! The comic drops you into this rugged, futuristic world where the protagonist, Isom, is this lone ranger type—think Clint Eastwood meets Mad Max. He's a 'culler,' someone who hunts down rogue creatures in a post-apocalyptic landscape. The first issue does a fantastic job of setting up the stakes: Isom isn't just fighting monsters; he's grappling with the moral weight of his role in a society that sees him as both savior and outcast.
The art style is gritty and atmospheric, with these sweeping desert landscapes that make you feel the isolation of Isom's journey. There's a scene where he faces off against this hulking beast, and the tension is palpable. What really hooked me, though, was the hint of a deeper conspiracy—something about the creatures he’s hunting being more than just mindless predators. It’s a solid setup for what feels like a story that’ll blend action with some heavy existential questions. I’m already itching for the next issue!
Reading 'Isom #1' felt like diving headfirst into a new universe—one part dystopian nightmare, one part character study. Isom’s this rugged, no-nonsense hunter, but the comic quickly shows he’s not your typical hero. The plot kicks off with him tracking down a particularly nasty creature, but as the story unfolds, you realize there’s a bigger picture at play. The way the comic balances action with quieter, introspective moments is what stuck with me. There’s a sequence where Isom sits by a campfire, reflecting on his choices, and the art does this amazing thing with shadows that just gets his mood. The world feels lived-in, and the hints about the creatures’ origins—are they experiments? mutations?—add this layer of mystery. It’s a strong start to a series that promises to be as much about the monsters inside as the ones outside.
'Isom #1' is a comic that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. Isom’s a culler—a hunter of beasts in a broken world—but the first issue makes it clear he’s fighting more than just monsters. There’s a personal vendetta simmering beneath the surface, and the artwork does a stellar job of conveying his gritty, relentless vibe. The action scenes are brutal and kinetic, but what really shines is the quiet world-building. You get these snippets of how society views cullers, and it’s not pretty. The ending leaves you hanging with a reveal that’s equal parts shocking and intriguing. Definitely a series to watch.

The novel 'Isonomia' is this fascinating blend of political intrigue and dystopian sci-fi that hooked me from the first chapter. It follows a society where equality is enforced through a rigid system called the 'Equilibrium Code,' which monitors and adjusts citizens' lives to maintain absolute balance. The protagonist, a disillusioned bureaucrat named Kael, stumbles upon evidence that the system might be manipulating more than just resources—it could be erasing dissent. What starts as a bureaucratic thriller morphs into a rebellion saga, with Kael uncovering layers of corruption masked as utopian ideals. The world-building is meticulous, especially how it contrasts the sterile, controlled cities with the chaotic underground resistance.
What really got me was the moral ambiguity. The system isn’t just 'evil'—it’s born from genuine catastrophe, and some characters defend it passionately. The climax forces Kael to choose between dismantling it (and risking chaos) or reforming it from within. The ending left me debating for days about whether true equality can ever coexist with freedom. If you’re into thought-provoking dystopias like '1984' but with a fresh twist, this one’s a must-read.
