The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of MYOPIA #1 from Dynamite Entertainment. Richard Dent writes, Patrick Berkenkotter draws,
Mohan colors, and Taylor Esposito letters.
In two hundred years, we’ve all got the internet implanted
in our eyes. Matthew’s dad was one of the scientists working on the project,
until he was killed. But Matthew found something in his dad’s workshop,
something that interferes with the grid. A couple of years later, Matthew
finally works up the nerve to try the new lenses, and he sees what someone has
been hiding all this time.
I do love a story with lots of layers, and this issue is
chock full of little pieces that will likely be fleshed out and explained
later. It can be fun to explore conspiracies, and technology is a cool place to
start one (and connectedness is a good theme for it, as well). The art is
simply beautiful in this book, too, with great attention to detail and some
very nice panoramas near the end.
How would you like a world where connecting to the internet
is as simple as putting in your contacts? And what could possibly go wrong in
that world? This book will prove to be an interesting vision of the future, I
think.
