My Cultural Diet

If you have something important that you need to ship across the country, something you want to hide from everyone else, then your best option is to hire the Ghost Fleet: a covert group of truckers who haul all manner of secrets and contraband in their heavily armored rigs. But when one of their drivers breaks the Fleet’s cardinal rule and takes a peek at what they’re actually transporting, the Apocalypse might not be that far behind. The Ghost Fleet has a pretty cool premise, replete with Mad Max-style anti-heroes, secret cults and conspiracies, and over-the-top gore and action. But the story doesn’t quite go the distance. Rather, it begins to peter out right around the time when Donny Cates finally starts to reveal the series’ big secrets (which, in hindsight, aren’t all that big). Plus, it ends on a cheesy coda that trivializes the preceding story’s grimness.
