Leaving Megalopolis: Surviving Megalopolis by Gail Simone, Jim Calafiore, Jason Wright
3.0
Got my kickstarted copy, and, as others have noted, it looks fantastic. The art really takes center stage here with a lot of really gorgeous panels, some with literally visceral impact.
The story, though, fell short for me. Though it's deranged superheroes gone wrong rather than a zombie apocalypse, it's a pretty familiar "handful of survivors on the move in a dangerous post-apocalyptic world" story. Everything happens very quickly, and we never really get a good sense of the ex-heroes or of any of the survivors but one.
Still, it's entertaining and, as mentioned above, looks great. I guess I was just hoping to be knocked out.
