Young Terrorists, Vol 1
Author(s): Matteo Pizzolo
From the creators of CALEXIT, Young Terrorists is the twisted grimoire of political destruction that Justin Partridge at Newsarama called "incendiary, super-crazy, and razor-sharp... exactly the kind of pissed-off spectacle we deserve right now." A young heiress discovers her father is part of a tyrannical new world order. She vows to burn his whole empire down. Collects Part 1 and Part 2 plus the FCBD Special.
"It's THE INVISIBLES on PCP!" -Julian Darius (Grant Morrison: The Early Years)
"A dark and brutal tale, told with invention and passion." -J.M. DeMatteis (Justice League, Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt)
Review(s):
"Continuing the legacy of DMZ and THE INVISIBLES, this sci-fi thriller captures the true rage, injustice and emotions behind a rebellion on every panel and provides a brutal and sometimes violent social commentary on the current state of affairs. Young Terrorists fearlessly attacks politics in a completely savage way."
"A radical underground group fights against tyranny in this graphic novel set in the near future. After a wealthy white businessman is killed in a suicide bombing, his high school daughter, Sera Solomon, is framed as a terrorist; his son's whereabouts are unknown. Sera is taken to a black site and tortured for information that she doesn't have-but she's no helpless victim, having spent a lifetime being physically and mentally toughened up (some would say abused) by her father. Scarred but unbroken from guard-run fight clubs, Sera escapes two years later. The story turns to Cesar, a young man on the run whose parents are illegal immigrants from Guatemala. He's dedicated himself to the cause of animal liberation by any means necessary but often finds himself beaten, hungry, and naked. Baby, an intimidating black man, appears and muscles Cesar to Detroit, where Sera and her crew, an exotic bunch with big plans, have a secret base. Confused and appalled but low on options, Cesar agrees to join them, especially when he gets a chance to rescue animals from a factory farm. But the real mission turns out to be far bloodier, more shocking, and more complicated than that. Additional material includes Sera's backstory, an interview with the author, and an image gallery of characters and alternative covers. Pizzolo (Calexit) delivers a high-octane mix of anger, violence, gore, sex, and rebellion, with a sprinkling of humor, snappy dialogue, and human connection. Cesar, for example, trying to hide out with clothes stolen from a trucker, is discovered and chased: “I'm literally the worst at going underground,” he moans. Ironic commentary is provided by Christopher Johanssen, an Alex Jones-like character whose Infocide online broadcast offers paranoia, his patented survival kit, and, sometimes, the truth. Nahuelpan's (Calexit) illustrations depict action and characters boldly, with exciting cinematic scenes and wordless panels. But under the scar tissue and punk haircuts, Cesar, Sera, and her band possess perfect bodies (the women with large, gravity-defying breasts), which seem awfully conventional for terrorists and rebels. A well-done terrorist tale for those with a taste for in-your-face, rage-fueled, vicious carnage."
”The most ambitious and fiery debut I’ve ever seen.”
“A thrilling (and occasionally excruciatingly violent) mind trip about some seriously angry anti-heroes.”
“Thrilling… Violent, aggressive, and taps into an undercurrent of rage against the proverbial machine that is pervasive in the world around us.”
“Thought-provoking."
"Young Terrorists is violent, bloody, and profoundly misanthropic. It is, in other words, the logical extension of our current political moment. A very gory book from the first page to the last, this is the kind of story that works overtime to remind the
"There's political intrigue, violence, sex, a female protagonist, strong characters, a punk aesthetic, mystery, and dystopian societal commentary... capturing both pain and hurt and the beauty of rebellion."
”10 out of 10. A call to action… captures a gritty anger. Open your eyes and read this book.”
“10 out of 10. Breathtaking, epic, and masterfully crafted by one of the most exciting creative teams out there.”
