Escape from Terra, p. 13:
So "Hitchens" is a substitute for "Hell"? Well, that was provocative enough for me to post this panel.
Reading on, I guess the writer intends readers to find the Ceres anarchists sympathetic, but he's doing a pretty good job of making me not like them. The apparently "contemptible" protagonist is an idealistic civil servant, the anarchists are jerks & snobs. I was maybe 35 pages in when it hit me that maybe I'm actually supposed to automatically hate him because he's French.
Yeah, by page 40, I could see where the tract was going. No thanks.
