Deadly Class Volume 1: Reagan Youth by Rick Remender
4.0
I realize that I need to review this right now or it'll be in a perpetual state of "RTC" if I don't write it NOW.
Anyway, now that I finally did read this, I realized that I have not punished my self enough for the many months of postponing this fcking work of art. Personally, this is probably the best graphic novel I've read for the year, and that's saying something since I've gobbled up too many graphic novels in June and July.
Deadly Class is an unabashed ode to the teenage angst we all carry once in our life. But I'm warning you, it's not just a phase! This is more than just an unapologetic portrayal of violence and assassination etiquettes. This story resonates deeper on the ambiguity of our moral compasses and how we stay human in an inhumane world. Add up with the superb graphics that beautifully transitions every page with a different shade of monotones, it will surely be an instant favorite. The art style is so beautiful and I really love how the artists didn't just constrict themselves with the tradition panels. This was an oddly hypnotic and enjoyable ride and I'll definitely be reading the next volume sooner.
"Life tattoos us with damage as a reminder...it won't be visible when you awaken, but people who know what to look for will see it, other victims of the same needle. It takes time to see them. It takes time to see anyone's real damage. But your people will see the colors--like a flag--and they will call you home to them."This graphic novel has been recommended to me so many times yet I ignored it countless times as well. Forgive me people, but I just recently read this all because I saw that it now has a live action with Lana Condor playing in it.
