When I first heard that Scott Snyder and Charles Soule were teaming up to co-write a new creator-owned series for Image Comics, I was psyched – I’m a huge fan of pretty much everything Snyder has done, and Soule is among the more consistently reliable writers working today (his run on Marvel’s “Darth Vader” is among the very best “Star Wars” output of the last few years). The fact that the premise also happened to be crazy tantalizing – after the United States shuts itself off from the rest of t...

The year is 2029, and the United States have sealed itself off from the rest of the world, which feels right on cue due to the current administration. As the world is plagued by the Sky Virus and wars have occurred, there are two new empires: Alliance Euro-Afrique and the Pan-Asian Prosperity Zone. Upon receiving a video message that serves as an invite to the isolated America, a team is sent to seek a cure for the global pandemic and breaches the U.S. borders, only to find themselves in a strug...

3.5 stars. The US has been sealed off from the outside world for 30 years, until a mismatched expeditionary group answers a mysterious summons. A lot of this volume was dedicated to introducing the characters and world building, and I think if it can keep momentum it could be a rewarding series.

I had high expectations, like a fun dystopian with a little social commentary.Nope. This had evolved monsters, a pandemic, walls, etc. I didn't mind that.I'm just... confused. I feel like comic books shouldn't be confusing because they're visual. This book had about... 7 main characters to keep track of, in under 200 pages. It was a complicated story that tried to cram itself into a very limited number of pages.

(Cue Trailer Voice-Over Guy…)In a world… Without any contact with the USA… Well, with Alaska but that doesn't count… And who the heck bothers about Hawaii, seriously?… A bunch of assorted people are tasked with following up a secret message… and entering the vanished realm of the States… to find a cure for the coronasniffles, er Sky Plague, I meant Sky Plague… There, they'll find no end of WTFery, and lots of piffle with a MacGuffin that would allow a bad guy to go bad places and do bad things…

2059, 30 years after the US succeeded in building a wall to excel the most rabid Trump wank fantasies, and completely shut itself off from the rest of the world. Now, a small delegation from the outside makes the first journey there since the Sealing. What they find...well, it seems a shame to give anything away, but it's even stranger than they expect, and even stranger than a projection forward from now would naturally suggest, which is saying something. It works very well, and sometime a litt...

4.5 stars. See single issues for more.

I think this might be a true story.

Sometimes high concept, bold ideas are best left on the shelf.I will read the second volume out of respect for the creators, but I hope the story improves now that a lot of the Mad Max-ian table setting has been done.Review submitted from the desolate wastes of Neo-Canada. No moose were harmed in the writing of this review

This is a really strange book. 30 years after an event known as "The Sealing" (wherein the U.S. cut itself off from the rest of the world, behind walls), a group of people are suddenly invited to visit, with the promise of a vaccine for the dust virus (which has humanity on the ropes) in the offing. When the group gets to the wall and follows a vector to pass through, they're suddenly fired upon with a missile and find themselves in a weird, outlandish realm overseen by the Destiny Man, a giant

Everyone on this creative team is excellent, I've loved a lot of their work, and the premise for this comic is exactly the kind of crazy science-fiction-fantasy I love, but Undiscovered Country is...just alright? For all the heady themes Soules and Snyder talk about in their post-issue "letters," this series––so far, anyway––is nothing more and nothing less than a couple of writers and artists putting their galaxy-brain thinking caps on and creating something batshit crazy simply because they ca...

In the distant future, the U.S. will finally build the Wall, and it will be far more efficient than Trump ever imagined. It won’t just keep Mexicans out. It will keep the entire world from crossing the border. Of course, the downside is that it will also keep Americans trapped within.This is the unsettling, strange, and subtly satirical dystopic vision of the graphic novel series Undiscovered Country, written by Scott Snyder and Charles Soule, two of the most popular writers currently working in...

The only thing I didn’t like was that there were some cringey lines. Everything else was good.

In the not-too-distant future… For 30 years the USA has been closed off from the rest of the world - they put up the walls and stayed behind them. Now, a pandemic called the sky virus is ravaging the rest of the world and for the first time in decades America is reaching out. A figure who looks uncannily like the Uncle Sam of army recruitment posters claims to have the cure to the virus and invites a select group inside American borders to retrieve it. But what’s happened to the states in those

This story couldn't feel more American than this. It didn't rub off me as bad as it was promising it would but this severely suffers from radical ideas set in American history and politics. The artwork is fantastic, incredibly colourful and detailed, but the lack of world-building, especially to help the reader understand how the world even came to be like it is here makes it tougher to understand if this is a realistic (???) future or an alternative historical fantasy fiction... Good thing thes...

Powerhouses Scott Snyder and Charles Soule team up with artist extraordinaire Giuseppe Camuncoli for a tale of America, in all its guts and glory. Undiscovered Country worldbuilds like crazy right from the get-go, creating a storyscape filled with potential. One part Mad Max, one part Borderlands, one part insanity, and that's just the parts we get to see in these first six issues. The cast is fairly large, but by the time you get to the end of volume 1 you'll definitely feel as though you know

Not gonna keep on with this series. It's an ok story but I'm being picky cause I've got a big to be read pile.

There's a deadly virus. There's an America that has removed itself from the world stage (walls! walls! you've heard 'walls' on the news!). There are genetically altered sea creatures. There are time dilations. There are Mad Max-like types roaming the land. There's a ragtag group of characters who go to closed off America, a group you'll hardly be able to tell apart. There is a videogame like structure, where people have to 'walk the Spiral' towards the centre of the US of A (read: lots of volume...

I really love the concept of this book. Thirty years ago the USA suddenly closed off all communication with the rest of the world, now amid a global pandemic (hmm) they have invited a group of representatives back inside their borders in the hopes of helping to cure the world.Unfortunately for me the book doesn't live up to the concept. I wanted something more realistic (at least as realistic as the premise would allow), but this is more fantastical, bordering on a weird mashup of apocalyptic fa...
