Following the 20th anniversary edition of Paul Pope's Heavy Liquid, Image is proud to release Pope's follow-up, 100%, in a newly remastered edition collecting all 5 issues, a gallery of the wraparound covers, unseen art and sketches, and a stunning wraparound cover colored by Yuko Shimizu. Time Magazine listed both Heavy Liquid and 100% among their 100 most important science fiction graphic novels of the decade, and fans and critics alike regard 100% as some of Pope's most emotionally charged and literary work, akin to Los Bros. Hernandez's Love and Rockets and the films of Wong Kar-wai. Set in Heavy Liquid's alternate future New York and the same timeline as hit series Batman Year 100, 100% focuses on the intertwining struggles, hopes, and loves of six characters all working and frequenting the seedy Catshack strip club. Blending the worlds of sex work, MMA fighting, and urban menace, 100% asks-is it possible to find love, safety, and hope in this dystopian American megalopolis?… (more)

An innovative look at six lives in a cyberpunk'd future New York. Life is crap but folks are getting on with living it in the best way they can. The imagery is great, evoking a shabby, sleazy future of crowds, parties, slums and technology, rendered with Paul Pope's characteristic slightly crazy style. A satisfying ending too. ( )

Pope's drawing style took a bit of getting used to, at first it was sometimes hard to tell exactly what was going on in a scene. That said, it is certainly an intriguing style that is down right beautiful at times.

Despite the somewhat oppressive feeling you get from the setting, I found the story to be very uplifting and even amusing at times. I felt really connected to the characters. ( )

A very well done story of six people, forming and unforming as couples, in New York in the year 2038; the background is fairly incidental, and it reminded me a bit of Jason Lutes' Berlin, though with less politics. ( )

100% is, to my mind, the best thing Pope's ever done, or at least, the best fiction (I have a not-so-quiet love for his coffee table book of sketches and essays, Pulp Hope); it's science fiction that's messy, honest and at times beautiful, a story for grown-ups that ditches astronauts for strippers, heroes for artists and makes everything into a world of possibility all over again. Highly recommended.
