"Expect some stunning sci-fi spectacle when Addison ventures into the Spill Zone." -A.V. "If Katniss Everdeen’s your gal, you’re going to want to meet Addison Merritt." - Entertainment Weekly “Puvilland, an animator for DreamWorks, has a rough, kinetic style that brings to life the rough, kinetic world of Spill Zone.” - Los Angeles Review of Books Reading it feels like binge-watching a great cable series, complete with the same feeling of despair you get when you finish the final episode and realize you’ve got a long time to wait for the next season." -The New York Times "As frightening as Spill Zone can be, though, its greatest asset is its muscle-tensing suspense. Then things start getting weird.“A little dark, a little twisted, and completely enthralling.” -Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles and Heartless
Highly illegal, but after all a girl has to do what she can to get by. But Addison sneaks in to take photos of the bizarre phenomena that occur throughout the spill zone so she can sell them to collectors. Nobody in or out (even supposing there were people who could get out). It's been three years and the town is still in quarantine. Addison's parents were working in the hospital and so, like everyone else, didn't make it out in time. Addison was out of town at the time but her sister had another kind of luck, she and a school bus full of kids somehow made it out but never spoke again. And now everything's straight up nuts there. Three years ago, Poughkeepsie (which I only know of through Looneytoons) was destroyed in some sort of toxic mix-up disaster involving a nuclear and a nanobot production facility. Hilary Sycamore (the colourist) is absolutely on fire here.
In any case, this book would not likely survive being B&W because its use of colour is so integral to what it is, to what it is doing. Like with Asterios Polyp only not quite so much. It's one of those books where the colourist really matters. Genre notes: disaster recovery, post-minor-apocalypse Daily Graphic Novel Recommendation 163 Spill Zoneīy by Scott Westerfield, Alex Puvilland, and Hilary Sycamore
