The Ministry of Compliance, Vol. 1
IDW sent this to me (and a whole pile of other books!) to review and I picked this one because of the setup, but while it mentions a whole bunch of aliens and politics, it’s ultimately a hyper violent hack and slash with a thin veneer of science fiction to justify the extreme violence. I normally have no real problem with this type of stuff (Brzrkr has been a blast to read) but for some reason I just couldn’t buy into the idea of aliens that look exactly like humans that are all too concerned about hybrids that they unwittingly created and the interactions among all the different factions within the alien government (who’s entirely off the page in this series).
There’s a lot to like here though with great art and the possibility that the story will evolve into something more, but I think I’ll be skipping further issues.
