No Mercy, Volume 1
No Mercy, Volume 1 | Alex De Campi, Carla Speed McNeil
7 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
"Alex de Campi's scarily believable premise combines with Carla Speed McNeil's unbelievably beautiful art for a thriller with its brake line cut." - Brian K. Vaughan It was just a trip before college. Build schools in a Central American village; get to know some of the other freshmen. But after tragedy strikes, a handful of once-privileged US teens must find their way home in a cruel landscape that at best doesn't like them, and at worst, actively wants to kill them. And then, of course, there are the secrets the kids are keeping from each other. From third-grade spelling bee champ Alex de Campi ("Archie vs Predator," "Grindhouse") and Eisner/LA Times Book Award winner Carla Speed McNeil ("Finder") comes a highly episodic thriller of teenagers in peril. "Two of my favourite creators teamed up and, once more, showing me why they're two of my favourite creators. "No Mercy" manages to push a good chunk of 21st century life inside a single bus, and then throws it off the cliff. This is what drama is all about." - Kieron Gillen

When you break this comic's premise down to the most basic level, it sounds super off-putting. A bunch of shallow, entitled American teenagers suffer through the fallout from a bus crash on a remote Mexican road. Nobody's likeable. Some of them are outright psychopaths.

Despite that, the first volume is weirdly gripping. It's horror of the "hell is other people" sort, and it made great plane reading. I'll keep an eye out for more. #comics

xicanti (NB: a couple of the students say they're in Mexico, but I dunno if they actually ARE or if they're doing that stereotypical American thing where they act like everything in Central or South America is Mexico. Their class photo tag says Mataguey, which might be them misspelling Matabuey, which is apparently a street in Costa Rica.) (edited) 7y

Wonderfully brutal, a more mature take on HATCHET. In NO MERCY, a group of overachieving Princeton pre-frosh go on a charity excursion to Latin America, but trouble starts when a bus crash strands them in the wilderness with no way to reach the outside world. The book has some of the best characterization I've seen in ages, a diverse cast, and fantastic pacing. NO MERCY is twisty survival drama at its finest - the page 2 gut-punch is an all-timer.

Imagine: a group of do-gooder students go to another country & their bus goes off a cliff. What happens? No Mercy is written, drawn, & colored by three super talented #womenwriters . I eagerly anticipate every issue.

I really like this one! Exciting plot, really colorful art, and interesting and diverse characters. I wasn't exactly edge-of-my-seat the way I've been with other recent comic reads, but I'm still a pretty big fan of this series and I am looking forward to the next volume.
