Set in a dystopian Manhattan of 2038, “100%” intertwines the lives of six individuals navigating love, art, and ambition in a world where body modification and extreme performance art are the norm. Paul Pope’s dynamic storytelling and distinctive black-and-white artwork, complemented by John Workman’s lettering and Lee Loughridge’s gray tones, create a visceral narrative that delves into the complexities of human relationships against a cyberpunk backdrop. Originally published as a five-issue series, this collected edition offers a cohesive exploration of futuristic urban life.
