描述
Hundreds of years in the future, New York City is haunted by many ghosts, including a voyeuristic woman who died in our present day and a mysterious gun-toting man from the distant past. Normally solo travelers, these two specters meet and travel around the world together, bearing witness to society's forward march toward decay.
Readers won't be able to look away as they watch with dark fascination how SPECTATORS explores the fine line between living and watching others live. Explicitly sexy and shockingly violent, this lavishly hand-painted epic is a thought-provoking, metaphysical masterpiece and the most ambitious collaboration yet between Pride of Baghdad artist Niko Henrichon and Saga writer Brian K. Vaughan.

Spectators is a graphic novel that follows the main character into the afterlife, where she is somewhere in the inbetween, able to watch but not participate. I don't want to say too much because watching the story unfold is part of the impact. The art, which depicts sex and violence rather graphically on page, makes you feel like the voyeur. It had me questioning if the sex made me more uncomfortable than the violence, then what does that say about me? Or society? I hope that was one of the intentions because isn't that something to reflect on in itself? This is a book that I will be thinking about for a long time. The whole thing is NSFW, maybe not even safe for home, depending on who is around. I am grateful for the opportunity to read an ARC copy of this book!
