Danger and Other Unknown Risks: A Graphic Novel | Ryan North, Erica Henderson
5 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
“Easily my favorite book of the year.” —Tillie Walden, Eisner Award–winning creator of Spinning A twisty, spellbinding adventure about a girl and her dog who want to save the world, Danger and Other Unknown Risks is the highly anticipated YA graphic novel debut from Eisner Award-winning and New York Times bestselling creators Ryan North and Erica Henderson. I'm gonna tell you a story, and I'm gonna ask that you let me finish before you say anything. Here’s the deal—on midnight of January 1st, 2000, the world ended. But it wasn’t technology that killed it: It was magic. Now, years later, the Earth has transformed. Magic works (sort of). People are happy (sort of). But this new world isn’t stable, and unless Marguerite de Pruitt and her canine pal, Daisy, do something about it, it’ll tilt into deadly chaos. Good thing they’ve been training their whole lives for this and are destined to succeed. Or so they think. Ryan North and Erica Henderson, the bestselling masterminds behind Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, serve up a graphic novel that is equally laugh-out-loud adventure and emotional gut punch. A story about the search for truth, chosen family, and rebirth, the journey of Marguerite and Daisy seeks to ask one vital question: How far are you willing to go to save the world?

As someone who would not survive any sort of apocalypse, I always find myself weirded out by them. Especially the ones with tiny Utopias, as if these kind communities can only exist after everyone like me is dead. But this one shows different ways to deal with power; hoard it or share it. And I appreciate that.

This was a weird one, but fun. I loved the chapter cover art. It was interesting seeing the connections between the weird stuff that comes up throughout the journey to banish dark magic decades after a magic surge ended the world as we knew it lends credit to the end revelations. Even so, the ending felt out of place, especially the monologueing the bad guy does. #comic #apocalypse #magic
