“Like millions of Americans, we watched in horror on January 6, 2021 as a riotous, Confederate-flag-wielding mob ransacked the U.S. Capitol, assaulted police officers, and strode the halls of Congress chanting, ‘Hang Mike Pence!’ and ‘Where’s Nancy?’ The rioters’ goals were not just violence and mayhem; they did their best to overturn a free and fair election. It was an insurrection, and they almost succeeded. In early 2021, with the Capitol still in shambles, we began writing a comic book series that would imagine a dystopian world in which that was the case. Shockingly, or perhaps not, we’ve seen many elements that we only imagined becoming reality in recent months. And it should be a stark reminder to Americans everywhere that our democracy remains fragile.” (10/31/24)
