Finder: Third World by Jenn Manley Lee, Bill Mudron, Carla Speed McNeil

5.0

Carla Speed McNeil is a master in her own created genre of aboriginal sci-fi. If you haven't yet picked up her astonishingly good Finder series I would urge you to start with the first book, as this is not a good place to start. It is, however, a delicious treat for those who have read the 1400 or so preceding pages. Jaeger is unsatisfied with his current lot in life and so decides to take on a Real Job. He winds up as a delivery boy at X-Ray's Courier service, and against the odds he is astonishingly good at it. He finds shortcuts in the city that should not exist, and manages to deliver packages to people who he should never have been able to find. He becomes so skilled that he attracts the attention of the upper management- and it turns out that excelling in this position may have been the worst mistake of his life. It's wonderful to dip into this rich world in full color. This is, both for art and for writing, one of my favorite comic series of all time.
