Product Description

Synopsis
Special interest groups have bullied the government into passing the Clean Act, effectively killing freedom of speech and silencing the country into submission. TV and God become one and the same as America wages its own holy war against its citizens. Meet Jennie 2.5, media slut turned info-terrorist, out to save the country from itself, and restore free will and self expression. Hailed internationally as ground-breaking work in the field of sequential art, Channel Zero challenges and tests the limits, combining current events and no-future shock into a dark, paranoid, deep-ambient visual narrative.

4.0 out of 5 stars Public Enemy No. 1, 7 Sep 2002
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
With a title taken from the a Public Enemy song, it shouldn't be too hard to guess that this is a book all about apathy, complacence, and fighting the powers that be. Another in a long line of dystopian graphic novels, Wood's is notable for both its impressive and innovative page layouts and its proactive message.

In the near future, America has jettisoned many civil liberties in favor of the "Clean Act", which effectively places all media in government hands and enforces the notion of America as a Christian country. Enter Jennie 2.5, a revolutionary countercultural culture jammer who uses a network of supporters to beam antigovernment and anti-apathy messages over the TV. The recurrent message is "Your Mind Is A Weapon. Use It!", and to reinforce this, Wood has included little photocopiable flyers for readers to bomb the streets with.

Another central message is that "the media" (all media, or just broadcast or mass media? it's not clear) is inherently corrupt and powerful. Corrupt because it always has an agenda of some sort, and powerful because modern society has wholly surrendered itself to its influences. Of course, you might as well say that all humanity is corrupt, because every living person has an agenda of some sort. And there's more than a little self-righteous elitism in the book's assumption that people are sheep and a revolutionary vanguard must lead the way to freedom. Still, the idea that people should think about where their information comes from, and who's behind it is always worth repeating. In any event, it is a wonderful piece of graphic art that can be enjoyed without reading a word.
