The Last Driver #1
(W/CA) Sean Murphy (A) Sean Murphy, Simon Gough
Fine. I'll admit it - I'm getting old.
Aging is weirdly hilarious. When you're a kid, people love telling you, "That thing you like is lame." Then you hit adulthood, finally have a little disposable income, and suddenly the world says, "Actually... that thing you like is awesome. You should definitely spend money on it." Fast-forward a few more years, and the tune changes again: "That thing you like? It's outdated. Maybe it's time to move on."
I know. I sound like a certified curmudgeon.
But stick with me - I'm not about to yell at kids to get off my lawn. I'm talking about the beauty of change... and what happens when the world changes faster than we do.
That's exactly where Image Comics' The Last Driver comes in. The latest series from the one and only Sean Murphy introduces us to Clutch - a grandfather, gearhead, and outlaw living in a future where automated transportation has replaced human drivers. In this world, driving isn't just obsolete... it's illegal.
What starts as a story about a bygone era quickly shifts gears into something much bigger: a sharp commentary on personal freedom, individuality, and what we lose when convenience replaces choice. Murphy packs every page with grit, gorgeous line work, and enough heart to make this more than just another dystopian comic. Whether you're here for the high-octane action, the social commentary, or simply incredible artwork, there's something to grab readers of every generation.
So buckle up, put the pedal to the floor, and join me as we hit the road with this exciting new series.
