Highly recommended.Īs part of the Spill Zone Blog Tour I also have an exclusive photo from inside the Spill Zone! Spill Zone is a deceptively fast read that packs a punch–guaranteed to reward multiple reads and close examination of each panel. Spill Zone is a fascinating and fast-paced story perfectly situated to appeal to both fans of speculative fiction and comics. The combination of Westerfeld’s story and Puvilland’s art keeps the tension taut throughout this volume as it builds to the dangerous climax and, of course, leaves readers with more questions. When Addison receives an offer she can’t refuse she’s forced to travel even further into the Spill Zone and confront dangerous truths about that night and the aftermath. It’s risky but, thanks to Addison’s meticulous rules, it’s manageable. By this point Addison has the process down from sneaking through the border to how to get out of the Spill in one piece and protect herself and her sister while selling the highly illegal photos to art collectors like the owner of the Vandersloot Gallery (which you can find online). Spill Zone starts with Addison getting ready to venture into the Spill Zone to take another batch of photos. You can find a copy at your local library, buy a copy, or you can read the entire comic online with neat blog posts from Scott and Alex talking about their process at. Spill Zone is Westerfeld’s latest graphic novel and the start to a new series.

No one knows what happened the night of the Spill but when Addison receives an offer to venture farther into the Zone than she ever has, she might be closer to finding out–whether she wants to or not in Spill Zone (2017) by Scott Westerfeld, illustrated by Alex Puvilland with color by Hilary Sycamore. From there it’s easy for Addison to periodically sneak into the Spill and snap photos of the weird aftermath to sell to art collectors. With nowhere else to go she’s kept herself and her sister near the border of the Spill in their family home. Addison Merrick was out of town and came back to a town she didn’t recognize, missing parents, and a sister who hasn’t spoken since. No one has been allowed in the Poughkeepsie Spill Zone since the night of the Spill.
