This is a stunning graphic novel written by the author of the Uglies series, the Leviathan and Midnighters trilogies, as well as So Yesterday, Peeps, and The Last Days. And don't miss the sequel, Spill Zone: The Broken Vow. Within the Spill Zone, Hell awaits?and it seems to be calling Addison's name. When an eccentric collector makes a million-dollar offer, Addison breaks her own hard-learned rules of survival and ventures farther than she has ever dared. Art collectors pay top dollar for these bizarre images, but getting close enough for the perfect shot can mean death?or worse. Addison provides for her sister by photographing the Zone's twisted attractions on illicit midnight rides. The Spill claimed Addison’s parents and scarred her little sister, Lexa, who hasn’t spoken since. Uncanny manifestations and lethal dangers now await anyone who enters the Spill Zone. Then things start getting weird.The first volume of an original graphic novel series for young adults, from New York Times?bestselling author Scott Westerfeld Three years ago an event destroyed the small city of Poughkeepsie, forever changing reality within its borders. 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.
