Tomorrow #1 and #2

[history79]

"In recent years a number of remarkable young people have appeared, from America to Sweden to Pakistan and beyond. Outstanding, brave individuals like Malala Yousafzai, Emma Gonzalez, and Greta Thunberg who spoke and continue to speak out against murder and bigotry and our capacity for self-destruction. We might be forgiven for thinking: if these are the people of tomorrow, surely tomorrow will be a brighter, more tolerant, and less self-destructive one?

Yes, that’s all well and good, but...but you see, I remember.

I remember the tyrannies and atrocities of the schoolyard. I remember just how red in tooth and claw so many of those kids were: how for every Malala there were a bunch of tiny Taliban, for every Emma Gonzalez countless cold-eyed would-be killers waving imaginary firearms at the weak and the innocent.

So maybe, just maybe, the fate of tomorrow isn’t quite so secure...if left to the children. In other words, is the wickedness and madness of mankind acquired, learned through lives of hard- knocks, the sole preserve only of adults, or are these flowers of evil inherent in the yet-to-fully-bloom bulbs?"

Ya know, a computer virus jumping into humans probably isn't the oddest idea in comics.

But at least try to sell it, maybe? Because otherwise, God damn, does it look lazy.
