Now, more than ever, there's been an increase in interest for dystopian stories... In comics, too, there have been a number of darkly disturbing dystopian stories, many of which emerged out of the tumultuous economic recession of the 1980s. These fictional worlds show the dangers associated with class warfare, government-run media, uncontrolled reliance on technology, and the dangers of consumerism replacing any sort of spirituality or sense of right and wrong. These stories, combined with their graphic visuals, serve as a reminder of what may be if the people give up their power in exchange for complacency. Films like the recently released Logan and the upcoming Ghost in the Shell have adapted these stories and once again brought their message to the forefront of pop culture, making our collection of the 15 Most Disturbing Dystopias In Comics all the more relevant.
