Genre: Dystopian sci-fi graphic novel
Synopsis:
Tharmas and K flee from the police forces through the meandering alleys of the megalopolis. Desperate for a way out, they agree to aid members of the local racketeering underground.
My Review:
Burn My Shadow Volume 4 by Sebastiano Lanza was another thrilling installment in this dystopian series. In this volume, Tharmas and K take on a new mission while trying to flee from the police. What I love more about Burn my Shadow series is that the small missions and heists added to the main plot make the story more engaging and interesting.
There are so many unanswered questions in this volume about the mission. The thrill surrounding it kept me engaged on every single page. As usual, there were some really good action sequences in this installment as well. I loved the artwork by Iacopo Calisti, especially during the intense action scenes.
Overall, I think Burn My Shadow Volume 4 was a very successful addition that made me even more excited for the next issue.
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5

About the Author:
Sebastiano Lanza is a writer, script writer, author of That Which Must Happen, a novel about fate.
Born in Catania – Sicily, Sebastiano has never held any interest in writing until – aged 16 – he tumbled upon the works of Pirandello. A spark had flickered. Always up for intellectual mischief, already busied in his studies, he delved deeper into writing theory and techniques, as he acquired a taste for avant-garde works of art – be it music or novels – and the theatre of the absurd.
Despite his love for creative writing – and he continues to be extraordinarily fond of it – Sebastiano feels novels alone are not enough to convey the complexities of his work. So he resolved to try his hand in script writing.
Currently – together with his team – he is working on Burn My Shadow, a dystopian graphic novel set in 2113, a world ravaged by climate change, as he continues to be involved in numerous other works, novels, and comic-books – which he’s not yet ready to talk about.
Amidst other praise, Sebastiano’s works have been defined by various reviewers as “educational and thought-provoking”, “a spiritual journey for the reader”.
