Great Pacific, nicely illustrated by Martin Morazzo, has just enough reality to make Joe Harris's story really engaging. I love the libertarian/environmentalist mashup that informs Chas's actions. He's representative of a generation that is sick of intrusive government, corporate welfare, and environmental neglect, and he's uniquely positioned to do something about all three.
Nation building on a floating garbage heap: I know, it's far-fetched, maybe even a little silly, but I enjoyed Great Pacific Volume 1 and will be eager to read Volume 2.
Interestingly enough, the idea of creating living space out of the floating garbage heap has been explored in real life. Check out this web site: http://www.recycledisland.com/. Maybe Harris's story isn't so far-fetched after all. . . .
