"Unfollow" is an Anti-Social Network, intertwined with an assassins-filled Tarantinoesque movie

Larry Ferrell is a super-wealthy social media mogul worth over $18 billion.  But diagnosed with a terminal illness that leaves him shriveled and hairless on a sure deathbed, he decides to give away his entire fortune equally to some lucky 140 random people.  These multi-billion fortune future heirs are as diverse and distant from one another as can be, and their interaction with each other will determine who will live and who will die, for the last person standing at the end will walk away with the entire $18 billion to themselves.

The people we meet are unique and have almost character-defining origins.  There is Dave from St. Louis, a thug who often hallucinates panthers or leopards; Courtney is a wealthy New York socialite, who spends her time skydiving just above Manhattan; Ravan is an Iranian journalist who's been abused and tortured by soldiers; there's Deacon, a Grizzly Adams looking former special ops soldier, whose recluse in the Alaskan wilderness is interrupted by him winning the so-called "Golden ticket" as one of heirs to Ferrell's fortune; and there's also Akira, a Japanese intellectual with prosthetic legs and a tattooed face.  They have all been brought over to the Bahamas, Ferrell's residence, by the mogul's often masked assistant, Mr. Rubinstein, in order to be informed of their inheritance's rules and requirements.

As written by Rob Williams and illustrated Michael Dowling (the cover by Matt Taylor is also great), Unfollow is a well imagined contemporary thriller involving our infatuation and dependency of social media on a minute-to-minute basis.   The story is well told, without much confusion, and for the most part it's entertaining enough to follow, since its ultimate conclusion does intrigue me.  The characters talk the real talk, rather than the written kind, and the artwork is detailed and very engaging.  After reading the first volume, I can't say I'm overwhelmed, but I'm not bored, either.  It has left me curious as to where it will go from here, and as a result, I won't be unfollowing it.
