The Hard Tomorrow

Up until right before the end I was going to give this 5 stars but the ending is so abrupt and unsatisfying.

3.5

Activism and survivalism, peaceful and aggressive. All fighting for or fearing the tomorrow. While trying for the ultimate symbol of hope.

There are some good ideas here, explorations of where we might be in a few years that are certainly within reason. The concept is a good one, and the illustrations are effective. The story of The Hard Tomorrow unravels with the slightest pressure. There are many things I liked about it—it is both tender and biting—but there just aren't enough threads to pull everything together into a cohesive piece of storytelling.
