In a world eerily similar to our own, the people in The Clock are facing a different kind of pandemic in their world, one where a new viral kind of cancer is ravaging the planet. What do you do when millions of people are being killed by an untreatable form of cancer? Well, you can find out for yourself in this mysterious graphic novel.
In this instance, a scientist named Jack is fighting for his life in a completely different way than everyone else in the book. After losing his wife to this viral cancer, his father is left to take care of his young daughter while he works day and night to find out not only why the cancer is happening, and why it seems to have showed up out of nowhere, and why it’s not reacting to treatment. This action packed graphic novel wasn’t my new favourite, but I did enjoy reading it. I liked the parallel’s to our own world right now, even though it took a much darker turn than I hope we ever will.
I also really enjoyed the art in this book. Much more classic comic art than others that I’ve read lately, it was really nice to look at and I think suited the story well. I don’t really have anything bad to say about it, but I just don’t really have anything to rave about it either. I am glad I got the chance to read it, though. If you’re looking for an exciting graphic novel to pick up next, than you might want to give this one a shot.
