review:
'The Great Divide' by Ben Fisher with art by Adam Markiewicz is a story of a weird apocalyptic disease that is affecting humans.

In the not too distant future, a weird thing happens. When people make skin contact with another person, one of them dies violently and the other lives with their memories inside. Kill too many people off and this makes a person a bit crazy.

A couple years after this happens, people are very distant and clothe themselves in gloves and masks. Porn has become a hot commodity since no one can touch. A young thief finds himself gathering a group of people, one of whom may be able to solve what happened.

This was a quirky enough idea that I ended up liking it. I wasn't sure at first, but it won me over. The art isn't bad. The characters are interesting. It pays to observe the things happening in the book with dialogue boxes and weird transcripts at the end of each issue. I liked this one.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
