![]() ![]() Davis's choice to set the work a few years in the future (apparently 2022) gives her leeway to ramp up the intensity by projecting current trends forward. Beautifully drawn, dramatically paced, and overflowing with empathy for its fully realized cast of characters, The Hard Tomorrow is vibrantly alive to being in the world in America in our time. It is indeed a hard hitting look at how the here and now could play out in what's coming – but certainly not one without hope, and that is, ultimately, the point. Before cracking open The Hard Tomorrow, it might be a good idea to mentally buckle up – and maybe even put on an emotionally protective helmet for good measure – as Eleanor Davis's new graphic novel lives up to its title. ![]()
