review:
'The Grand Abyss Hotel' by Marcos Prior with art by David Rubin is a layered ambitious graphic novel that seeks to show how fake news can change a society.

Neoliberalism has taken control, and tv news screams with stories, but which ones are true? A masked vigilante decides to fight back by fighting politicians and social media. He's no hero, but the people rally behind him.

The style reminded me a bit of a cross between The Dark Knight Returns and V For Vendetta, but it kind of lost me in all the noise. The story is told in layers, and it's presented as a lot of media chatter. I get what was attempted. It just didn't work for me. I did like the art, and enjoyed looking at the full pages with all the chaotic layouts.
