"We’ve seen stories like this play out repeatedly in real life since the US instituted race constructs to rationalize the chattel slavery of Black people. Few comics are apolitical (masked vigilantism), so creating a work that isn’t would be quite a feat. I think what is clear is that stories reflecting Black experiences face politicization due to institutional racism. That stated, the antagonist in White has become President of the United States, so actual politics do play out in the story."

thanekos#1'd started him down that way, following the injured Nick.
#2 brought him up to subliminal messages, and the mediums thereof.
" Hey. You like video games? "
( Richard caught up with his train of thought. )

Nobody Is In Control started last month.
Jun. 7th, 2019 09:44 pmthanekosIt's another series - a mini, solicited for four issues - about conspiracies.
It opened on Richard, a retired talk radio host who saw someone running through his backyard one day.
He went out, rifle in hand, after the stranger.
The stranger, Nick, turned and introduced himself.
He gave informative banter and vague explanations about himself.
( He then reached out to Richard. )

"The setup of the story is that California is forced to secede when it takes a principled stance to be a Sanctuary State after the President orders all immigrants be deported. So the starting point of the whole story is people doing the right thing and standing up to tyranny. The fact that the tyrants bring the hammer down in response is to be expected, but people’s resilience in fighting back should be inspiring. The book isn’t about wallowing in dystopia, it’s about celebrating the spirit of resistance."

"What if a fascist, autocratic President took over the United States? And what if that President lost California, the sixth largest economy on Earth, by nearly 2-to-1... a margin of almost 3 1/2 million votes? What if the day after that President took power, the largest mass demonstration in history occurred, and the state with the largest turnout was California. And then, the following week, two of the largest international airports in the world, California's LAX and SFO, were blockaded by protesters? What if California refused to be ruled? From the creators of YOUNG TERRORISTS, Matteo Pizzolo (GODKILLER) and Amancay Nahuelpan (CLANDESTINO), comes this tale of resisting oppression, punching Nazis, protecting each other, kicking ass, and demanding liberty for all."
