A review by aprilmarie
Decorum #1 by Mike Huddleston, Jonathan Hickman
4.0
Imogen Smith-Morley is here to teach you some manners. I strongly suggest you pay attention.
Decorum is set in a world where the system takes advantage of people and leaves them to their own devices to attempt to survive yet knowing they will ultimately fail. A disease has been released and people are forced to make impossible choices. Some have chosen to do this by any means necessary. Such as Neha, a courier making deliveries to pay for time. While others have chosen to do the same with just a little more style, Like, Imogen, a assassin who's big on tone. Watch yours.
What would you do to save someone you loved? There is only one answer...anything.
I'm deliberately being vague because I don't want to spoil the introduction to this story. Hickman is at it again with his mixed-media approach (lots of charts and diagrams). I happen to enjoy when he does this. It breaks the fourth wall and pulls the reader almost ensconcing them in the story. There is a lot going on here, but it will all eventually converge on our two leads. Therefore, don't be distracted by the varied time-lines, the vacillating art-style and the dinosaurs (yes, dinosaurs). The story is the characters. And Imogen and Neha are truly where the action is.
This is for active readers only.
I've read issue 1 & 2.
