review:

A rich young oil-heir, a mutant octopus and a new country founded on a man-made floating garbage heap are all featured in Great Pacific Volume 1: Trashed, which collects the first 6 comics in the series.



Chas Worthington has it all and is known as a frivolous young man. After his father dies, he is in line to inherit the oil company his family owns, but Chas has other plans. It seems he feels responsible for the mess we've created and decides to found a new country on a floating heap of garbage out in the Pacific. Taking along his best friend, he is quickly pursued by those he left behind. He also runs into mutant animals, pirates and soviet nukes.



All in all a fun ride. An interesting sci-fi premise with a feeling of the great punk comics of the 1980s. Gorgeous art by Martin Morazzo has a real Moebius feel to it, and Joe Harris has written a story with humor, adventure and a great 'stick-it-to-the-man' feel to it. There is so much happening in these 6 issues, and I can't wait to see what they do next.
