Read Incredible Doom Vol. 1

Read Incredible Doom

It’s the dawn of a new age…the age of the internet.

Allison is drowning under the weight of her manipulative stage magician father. When he brings home the family’s first computer, she escapes into a thrilling new world where she meets Samir, a like-minded new online friend who has just agreed to run away from home with her.

After moving to a new town and leaving all of his friends behind, Richard receives a mysterious note in his locker with instructions on how to connect to “Evol BBS,” a dial-in bulletin board system, and meets a fierce punk named Tina who comes into his life and shakes his entire world view loose.

Unlikely alliances, first love, and minor crime sprees abound in this teen graphic novel debut about making connections while your world is falling apart.

Interesting setting and story focus, centered around the early internet. I wasn’t sure how the two storylines would connect but thought it worked well in the end. I liked the artwork.

Watched Total Recall

Watched Total Recall from m.imdb.com

When a man goes in to have virtual vacation memories of the planet Mars implanted in his mind, an unexpected and harrowing series of events forces him to go to the planet for real – or is he?

Never seen this before, I can see a lot of references to it in other movies I’ve seen over the years. Red pill lol. They got a lot right tech-wise: autonomous vehicles, flat screen TVs, body scanners at security, video calls. I called out the wife was fucked up in the first couple minutes. Nice job keeping it open ended whether or not it was real. Very Philip K Dick.
