In this futuristic dark comedy by Eisner and ‘Ringo Award-winning writer Mark Russell, life and death are ruled by social media. One too many dislikes...and you’re dead. When Arnold awakes from a coma twenty years into the future, he discovers that government is a thing of the past and society is now entirely ruled by social media. Literally. Enough “likes” and “upvotes” can unlock fame and fortune but — watch your step! — enough “thumbs down” clicks and the nifty metal collar around your neck explodes – and you’re dead. Now, confused and running on his last Like, Arnold must navigate a hazardous obstacle course in which social media cliques provide the only safe refuge, aware that the slightest online misstep can be fatal.

This is excellent. The writing and art really made me wish this wasn’t a one shot. The “Walled Off Garden” is hopefully not what the world becomes permanently.
