Do city planners really have control over the success of the cities they design?
Ben is a young architect who suddenly appears in a dangerous, apocalyptic world. He knows what he’s doing there – He’s on a mission to investigate the city. The only person he gravitates towards and communicates with is a violent, rebellious anarchist. It soon becomes apparent that they both share knowledge about the city: They both know that it changes. The city’s plan, its buildings, roads, streets – everything changes, disappears and reappears elsewhere – suddenly and without warning.
Surprisingly, no other person is aware of the changes to the city but the two of them. Together they embark on a journey in which a new, futuristic world unfolds before them, while attempting to learn the reason behind the city’s transformations. Their journey will change the way they view the world.
˃˃˃ A graphic novel about cities
Outskirts of Vision is a graphic novel about cities – What constitutes a “good” city? Do city planners really have control over the success of the cities they design? Is there a way to visit a city before it has been built? To know how it will develop beforehand?

I am not a fan apocalyptic stories, and dystopian societies, but I do love graphic novel, unfortunately this book was a let down, because of the tiny print on this ebook. It was very difficult to read. I couldn’t appreciate the story. From the little bit I was able to read is not for everyone. It is dark and unique, not for young adults, definitely for adults with all the gore. The drawing are very well done and this helped me to understand a bit of what I was reading.
