Two soldiers declare a fight to the death, and give each other a year to plan. One starts a mercenary troupe, the other starts a domestic terrorism cell.

Meanwhile, a paralyzed billionaire invents robot bodies and becomes a cyborg. He tries to share this technology with disabled people everywhere, but instead his tech becomes a global arms race between those two soldiers.

The premise is ridiculous, so I wonder: how serious does the book play out, or is it self-aware enough to lampshade things?

It's aware that it's over the top, and it leans into it.

What is the name of the art style in tiles one and three? It reminds me of the first graphic from the large hadron collider or space art from the seventies.

I don't know what the style is. But the artist is @badmaddog on Instagram. Maybe they can say?
