Editorial Reviews

05/23/2016
When an enigmatic young billionaire, dying of pancreatic cancer, spreads his wealth among 140 selected individuals, it sets off a violent chain reaction in which the recipients of his largesse find themselves fighting for survival—because if any of the 140 die, the survivors split the remaining share. This first volume of what promises to be a longer saga raises more questions than it answers, following five of the 140 inheritors, including a young man trying to survive the troubled, crime-riddled streets of St. Louis; an Iranian reporter; an ex-military survivalist bunkered up in Alaska; a Japanese novelist with two artificial legs and nudist tendencies; and a rich young woman trying to repudiate her family’s wealth. Writer Williams (Judge Dredd) deftly juggles their interlocking sometimes chilling, sometimes amusing narratives. Several intriguing mysteries unfold with a pitch-black sense of humor enhanced by artist Dowling’s (Death Sentence) bold and gritty artwork. (May)
