High in the Citadel there exists a bio-dome of clean air and pure water, protected from the toxicity and anarchy of the Wasteland. Here, the warlord Immortan Joe keeps his most prized possessions—his wives—imprisoned for his pleasure and his insistence that they bear him healthy male heirs.
Then, amid this cruel depravity, an unlikely rescuer emerges…the Immortan's most lethal warrior: the Imperator Furiosa.
From the mind of George Miller, the creator of the Mad Max trilogy, the prelude miniseries to the upcoming film Mad Max: Fury Road continues!

Mad Max Fury Road: Furiosa #1 / B00YQ3KQBU
I've written a page-by-page review elsewhere ("We Need To Talk About The Furiosa Comic"), but as I have a word limit here, I will just say that I found this comic to be disappointingly mediocre. The authors have included a lot of rape scenes (at least 3 in ~40 pages), which I felt was very poorly handled given that I enjoyed the movie without needing to see the visceral victimization of the wives. MMFR was a movie about sexual victimization without showing any rape on-screen; we didn't need to see rape in order to know that rape was going on. That was true for the movie; it is true for any backstory comics.
By showing the rape and sexual assault over and over again in this book, the comic overwhelms the wives' valid complaints about freedom and reproductive freedom in the movie. It or shouldn't matter whether Joe is treating them "well" or whether he's hurting them. They aren't free, they deserve to be free, the end. The added rape sequences only serve to provide a validity prism for the audience: yes, the apocalypse out there is rotten, but it really was sufficiently terrible enough in Joe's captivity to justify wanting to leave. Indeed, one of the authors has admitted as much on twitter, saying that without the rape scenes, readers might view the wives as "spoilt young girls" whining about being protected by an older male.
I wanted this comic to show us more of the wives' personalities and interactions (most of which has here been garbled into catty in-fighting), to show us their backstories (none of which are shown here), to detail their plans for freedom (there are none; they just ask Furiosa to save them and she shows up in the middle of the night saying, essentially, "Come with me if you want to live"), to show them rebelling by painting their messages on the floor and walls (they don't; the comic has the messages painted for them after they leave). Everything here feels like a washed-over, by-the-numbers retread of rape and in-fighting, until an Exceptional Woman rises to be The Leader. Nothing original, nothing we haven't seen before, and nothing that evokes the amazing spirit of the movie I loved.
My recommendation: Save your money and see the movie instead.

The art is ugly. And the story is not about Furiosa. Its about how the brides get loaded on the war rig a day before fury road begins. Stupid. Waste of time and money

Terrible. Poor character development and a terrible story. Doesn't go into anywhere near enough detail about Furiosa, while it does about Immortan Joe. Waste of time.
