Concrete Park Vol 1 is a really interesting sci fi graphic novel about a planet that happens to be home to "criminals" that have been shipped off from Earth. The "New Earth Correctional Colony City Number 2" or "Scare City" is what the area is known as. We follow what seems to be the narrative of two different protagonists or anti heroes. Although there seem to only be two main characters there are lot of side character and that sort of makes things a little confusing at more than one point. 

Towards the end though the volume starts to come together and make more sense. I gave this 4 stars because I enjoyed the setting, world building, and some of the characters. I didn't give it that 5th star because the comic was confusing at times and I didn't like the trope that was used at the very start of the comic.
