Malice

I recently finished a part graphic novel, part comic book called Malice, by Chris Wooding. So basically, this book is a part of a series, so I won't be able to say a whole lot. Malice takes place in England, and there is a comic book of the same name. What's very weird is that it is possible to end up in the comic, if you take certain objects (six items as I recall), and say the words, "Tall Jake take me away" six times, then a tall, dark guy (who is Tall Jake) will then appear when you're alone, and then take you to the world, Malice. Malice is a realm that lots of kids in the real world have heard about, but very, very few survive their first night (what I have read about in Malice shows that this world is much, much more different than our world. For starters, there are two tickets, black and white. Black tickets can take you anywhere throughout parts of Malice (yes, when it comes to "parts of Malice", you may think of that movie Zootopia), and white tickets are able to take you throughout parts of Malice, AND back home. But there are the consequences. Perhaps you may be wondering, all those kids who found white tickets and could get home, why can't they just tell someone about what had happened? As it turns out, the survivors lose memory of everything that had previously occurred. Malice also has its hazards, such as monsters called "Chitters", mechanical fiends that can "drink" time out of you. So by that, I mean make you a whole lot older). Seth and Kady, the main characters of the story think this whole thing is a really stupid myth, but after their friend Luke disappears and suddenly appears in the newest issue of Malice, things don't seem so silly after all. However, after they both wind up in Malice themselves, the two realize they are not alone. There are groups opposing Tall Jake, one of which is called Havoc. Will Seth and Kady be able to survive in Malice? Read to find out.
