Sarah Gailey continues to knock it out of the park with their amazing, anti-capitalist genre comics. Know Your Station is a gory, hilarious (there was one panel - a full page spread, actually - that made me laugh out loud), story about oligarchs suffering - and that's EXACTLY my taste right now.

This book falls right into line with gory action/horror dystopia films of the 80s and early 90s where the corporation was always capital b Bad: Robocop, Aliens, Total Recall, etc. Since those films are my bread and butter, I felt like I was built to enjoy this.

I almost stopped reading this at first because it was so dark and I struggled to keep all the characters straight. However I stuck with it and the payoff was phenomenal. I liked this more than Eat the Rich and I can't wait to see what Gailey does next.
