Synopsis:

When the storm struck, it sowed death across the land. It soon spread to the four corners of the Earth, racking up victims and changing the face of the world forever. For the worse, in the eyes of most. For the better, in the eyes of some. All that stood between mankind and total destruction was a small band of outlaws. They were called… The Frontier.

Review:

I really thought I’d enjoy this because the synopsis sounded great, but god this was painful to get through. 

For the amount of action it had in it, it was boring. The story was confusing and the pacing was all over the place. I couldn’t keep up with who these characters were and what powers they had. Also, there was no explanation for their powers other than this mysterious storm that you never see. 

There’s also quite a lot of racism. I don’t remember seeing any black characters, the only character of colour was an Indian woman (I don’t know her exact origins) and everyone was so racist to her. One of the members of her team even refers to her by her ethnicity and my god it’s horrible.

Also, women are very objectified throughout the entirety of this graphic novel. There are multiple nude scenes and there’s even an instance of what looks like sexual assault. None of these things act as a plot device or have any effect at all, completely pointless and potentially triggering for people. 

I was willing to give this graphic novel a rating of 2.5 before these things happen but it is an absolute one, I’d give it zero if I could.
