Great Pacific Volume 1: Trashed! by Joe Harris, Martín Morazzo

4.0

This is a great start on an intriguing story!

A young, oil business heir decides to claim the great Pacific garbage patch as his very own country (New Texas, lol), along with some tech that will help transform/terraform it into... well, not a gigantic pile of environmental waste.

All manner of wacky problems ensue: boardroom meetings, a gigantic octopus, an indigenous tribe (yes, already inhabiting the garbage patch), SEC investigations, pirates, the U.S. Navy, RUSSIAN NUKES!

It could almost be too crazy, but the story works, and I can't wait to read more. :)
