Publisher's Synopsis
"In Scarcity, you can't trust anyone over the age of 40.
For young Pixie and Freydank, life expectancy is low and regularly disrupted by immortal elders from neighbouring Methuseland. When a small act of mischief forces them to flee their home, they discover a forgotten relic that - if unleashed - will smash the status quo and cause potential anarchy between the two cities." Boom Bandits is a self-contained cyberpunk graphic novel packed with humour, thrilling action and unsuspecting heroes. Featuring striking black and white artwork. Boom Bandits comes from the desire to create pop-culture that doesn't delve into nostalgia and reflects the struggles of younger generations. It's Boomers vs Millennials. The outlaw comic for the outlaw generation! A must-have for fans of Transmetropolitan, Akira and 2000AD. REVIEWS "Boom Bandits" will bring to mind the aggressive glory years of 2000AD.... Of course, great art is nothing without a decent story, and Stahl once again comes up trumps, with the highest praise I can give being that I REALLY want to read the next issue."- Comic Scene "Boom Bandits is a big, brash comic full of fights, satire and showcases some great art. If you're a regular visitor to the mean streets of Mega City One or Neo-Tokyo you'll probably enjoy the world of the Boom Bandits. ." - Pipedream Comics "This is a comic for all generations. With plenty of action and a lot going on, you really get your money's worth...The 'New Hope' part of the story, but I'm sure we're going to see the Empire Boomers Strike Back!"
- 3 Million Years "Boom Bandits is a strong comic, one that manages to be entertaining, engaging, and evocative. It has a bold and vivid art style that really complements the tone of the story... Not only would I recommend this book, I'm interested in seeing what the creator does next."
- Set The Tape "It has a real post-apocalyptic dystopia feeling to it and it's take on "old vs young" is one that feels fresh and new. The black and white imagery is wonderful throughout."
