Depicting the financial and social insecurity afflicting young people in modern Cairo, Metro was the first adult graphic novel published (and subsequently banned) in Egypt, just three years before the Arab Spring.In art as pulsing and immediate as Cairo itself, Magdy El Shafee delivers a prescient portrait of a crumbling society and Egypts coming eruption. A powerful story of young men with nothing left to lose, Metro sounds the cry for a better, freer future.When Shehab, a young software designer, runs afoul of a loan shark, all avenues of escape in Mubaraks corrupt, chaotic Egypt seem to be closed to him. Getting help from the bank is impossible without connections, and Shehabs uncle abroad wants nothing to do with his troubles. A powerful businessman offers assistance, but the next day Shehab sees him being stabbed in an alleyand the mans dying words suggest a conspiracy extending to the upper reaches of the regime.Angry and broke, Shehab enlists his friend Mustafa in a bank heistand falls into a vortex of financial and political corruption. On the run with a case full of money and evidence of murder, the two careen through Cairos metro system, evading the police and the thugs who are out in force to crush antigovernment protests. The only allies who can help get them out of this mess, the friends realize, are a blind shoeshine man and a muckraking journalist.
