Okay Exit Generation isn’t a bad comic at all. It does a great job in setting up the world and bringing the reader up to speed on what’s going on. Almost too well, in the short time that I was exposed to Matthew I was ready to become vested in his journey. That aside Jack and Mo have done their part and in the short time that they are given to gain the reader’s interest. The art works well and matches the tone and feel of the book very well. Other than that, Jack has great taste in Hong Kong cinema with The Killer and Hard Boiled. Both flicks are Chow-Yun classics.

Basically Exit Generation is off to a good start and is worth checking out.
