DROME | COMIC BOOK REVIEW | FIRST SECOND | AN EARLY CONTENDER FOR BEST BOOK OF 2025

DROME (2025) by Jesse Lonergan is a 320-page, near-silent epic about the birth of civilization—where a sea-born demigoddess teaches a language of peace and a desert city rises under the gaze of capricious gods. In this review, I break down the themes (order vs. chaos, the power of language), Lonergan’s color-driven structure (CMYK sections), and the show-stopping action that’s made critics call it a front-runner for 2025 Book of the Year.
Publisher: 23rd Street (Macmillan’s adult-GN imprint; sister to First Second). Release: Aug 19, 2025.
