The series has a mixture of both futuristic tech and classic tools/weaponry. It seems to be a mix of Mad Max and How To Train Your Dragon- which are very cool things to be inspired by! This combination seems as though it shouldn't work, however, the art and the direction of the story make it work.

The book starts with an act of war and a personal tragedy. After that, it doesn't get much brighter. The retaliation is bloody and it is brutal!

Extremity is a very emotional series; the war is very personal for Thea. She used to be so peaceful, she loved to draw and her people would marvel at her talent but since the incident, her abilities were horribly snatched away from her when her hand was cut off. Ever since, she has trained and prepared for battle. When given the chance, she will not hold back. However, is vengeance really what she needs? Will she really be satiated by killing the opposing tribe?

Issue two gives us a further look at the inciting incident, the initial invasion of Thea's town. It is a reminder at what these people have faced. It is a day they all have ingrained in their minds- whether they want to recall it or not.

The scope of the book is widened with the second issue as this world is explained in a bit more detail to the reader. We also gain a further understanding of the politics between tribes. Enough is revealed to keep our minds racing and yet enough mystery is left to keep us wanting more.
