Series Review: Suciders

Suiciders - Vertigo Comics

The all-new Suiciders comic book from writer/artist Lee Bermejo and published by DC Comics, under the Vertigo imprint is one of the best comics written today. Suiciders is a story of survival, in the not too distant future, after the big one hits California, devastating Los Angeles. Normalcy is gone.  After the government turns their back on this once beloved destination, things go from bad to worse.  A city known for its entertainment, turn the tables doing what it does best, turning survival into entertainment.

Thirty years later New Angeles, is thriving and a highly sought after destination once again. Blood sport has rejuvenated New Angeles via a television show, Suiciders, that combines hand-to-hand combat with high-tech obstacles that test each competitor’s ability to survive. Plastic Surgery, technology and drugs gives New Angeles’ Suiciders freakish strength, powers and moves.

Plastic Surgery seems to be the in thing in New Angeles, residents talk freely, seemingly bragging about having multiple plastic surgeries. But, there is another city on the outer area of New Angeles, a city of suffering, a city that is on its own. Denied access to the same health care (plastic surgery), outsiders will do anything to get in.

Well-written and drawn, Suiciders is a good comic book. Matt Hollingsworth’s coloring sets the tone, driving the scenes home, enhancing Lee Bermejo’s story of a dark, post-apocalyptic epic of this strange, brutal world.

You can find the latest hit Vertigo comic book, Suiciders, at White Dragon Comics, the best comic book shop on the internet.
