BOOM'S THE GRAND ABYSS HOTEL
BOOM! Studios has announced a May 29 release for The Grand Abyss Hotel, an original graphic novel set in a world where big business and fake news manage social order until a rebellion breaks out.
Writer Marcos Prior and artist David Rubin weave a politically satirical look at democracy today through the lens of hyper-violence and explosive action.
Here's how BOOM! describes the book:
"Imagine a world overrun by big business and 'fake news' via the social media machine neoliberalism has become a state religion, while the citizens quietly and then not-so-quietly rebel, giving way to violence on the streets and sowing chaos. A masked vigilante takes on the role of hero to battle politicians, the erosion of democracy, and social media. After the fires burn low and the dust settles, social order returns. Or does it?"
"We created The Grand Abyss Hotel in the spirit of the greatest science fiction, acting a mirror to the world to help reveal a type of violence that, unlike purely physical, primary and spectacular violence, tends to remain hidden," Prior said. "It's the symbolic violence - both institutional and economic - that remains invisible although its effects may be more lasting and devastating than the more visible physical kind."
"With The Grand Abyss Hotel, Marcos and I donft want to give answers about the political and social moment that we are all living all over the World. Instead, we want to make people think about their role in the chaotic times that we live in," Rubin said. "By asking that question, we hope it helps you find your own role in the larger social and political landscape. The best weapon to fight against corrupt systems is simply an idea. Believe me, nothing is more dangerous to a bad person than asking the questions that empower the masses."
