review:
'Billionaire Island' by Mark Russell with art by Steve Pugh is a satirical graphic novel about the super rich creating a secret island where anything goes.

While the world falls apart, a group of the super rich create a floating island paradise where they can shelter. Money detectors determine who can gain access to the island. Some are content to live in giant hamster cages and be thrown food and money. But not everyone is content with the way things are happening and want to change things.

This graphic novel is aimed solidly at the super rich. Like the author's other works, it feels a bit purposefully grotesque. I would have preferred it to be a bit more subtle, but the point is well made. The art is good and some character design borders on caricature.

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