A homeless man is mysteriously abducted. A journal is left on the edge of a subway platform, filled with stories about a world that doesn' t exist. Not far from here a scientist is murdered in cold blood. The only clues are his burned down lab. A magnetically propelled motorcycle, and a man walking around New York City with the last living falcon on the planet. Imagine a world where your every thought, your every move, is filtered through The Central Lens Network. Now imagine being a twelve-year old boy and discovering a special pair of lenses that allow you to access this network undetected. This is exactly what happens to Matthew Glen the day his father is murdered then two years later mysteriously appears back in his life. In a style that echoes back to the Dark Age of Comics when graphic novels were coming into an art form of their own, "Myopia" merges science fiction with noir steampunk into a thrilling alternative reality, where government and big business use entertainment devices to cover up a new authoritarian landscape.
"Myopia remains anenjoyable and original experience. The character of Chase is a compellingcentral figure, and his relationship with Matthew is interesting and well-drawn. The supporting characters have personality and well-defined motivations, and thethreat of the domes and the already-sinister machinations of Formula Media areintriguing. I don' t want to spoil the story, but the reader can feel it buildingmomentum throughout, and the shape of the issue serves to accentuate anincreasing sense of foreboding. " --Jeremy Radick,Capelesscrusader. org "As a work of sciencefiction, here' s plenty about Myopia to recommend. It' s commentary on socialmedia dependency and global climate change are clear without being preachy ordistracting from the larger narrative. The mysteries it sets up are compelling,and the setting feels fully realized. " --Mike McNulty,bamsmackpow. com "Myopia is fascinating tofollow. Dent leads us along with a Lost-like quality, generating plenty ofinterest by continuing to develop the story with layers of mysteries. Thischapter continues to set the stage for a world that has plenty of story left togive, and the fact that it ends with a suspenseful-- [enter sound effect fromthe end of each Lost episode] MYOPIA. " -- S. T. Lakata, FanbasePress "Tell us if you' ve got both eyes focusedon this fresh-faced steampunk follow-up from Dynamite. " -- Jeff Spry,Syfywire. com "A virus has been plantedin mysterious domes located at the Earth' s magnetic poles. The governmentcontinues to work to decode the virus, while the main characters, Molly andMatthew, face betrayal and other dangers. " -- Publishers Weekly "Myopia is a solid read for those wholike their sci-fi hard and wordy. The story is interesting, the characters arewell formed, and the art is absolutely gorgeous. I can recommend this to anyoneup for this kind of heavy reading. " --Joshua Davison, BleedingCool
