No Mercy Volume 1 by Alex de Campi
Alex de Campi's scarily believable premise combines with Carla Speed McNeil's unbelievably beautiful art for a thriller with its brake line cut. - Brian K. Vaughan
It was just a trip before college. Build schools in a Central American village; get to know some of the other freshmen. But after tragedy strikes, a handful of once-privileged US teens must find their way home in a cruel landscape that at best doesn't like them, and at worst, actively wants to kill them. And then, of course, there are the secrets the kids are keeping from each other.
From third-grade spelling bee champ Alex de Campi (Archie vs Predator, Grindhouse) and Eisner/LA Times Book Award winner Carla Speed McNeil (Finder) comes a highly episodic thriller of teenagers in peril.
Two of my favourite creators teamed up and, once more, showing me why they're two of my favourite creators. No Mercy manages to push a good chunk of 21st century life inside a single bus, and then throws it off the cliff. This is what drama is all about. - Kieron Gillen
