Calexit: Battle of Universal City #2

When war comes to Hollywood, even the fictional characters have to take sides -- pop culture is the battleground as Calexit rages on. Calexit, the seemingly ripped-from-the-headlines comic… is set in a near (and eerily familiar) future where America’s president signed an executive order to deport all immigrants, with California responding by proclaiming itself a sanctuary state. As the citizens of the state struggle to seize power back from an autocratic government, the story centers on Jamil, a war zone courier/smuggler, and Zora, a young leader in the Mulholland Resistance, who attempt to escape Occupied Los Angeles, a city under martial law. (-THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER) This gripping three-issue miniseries revives the fiery spirit of the initial Calexit narrative... Though postponed from its initial planned release, The Battle of Universal City proves the delay was justified, landing perfectly in a societal moment primed for its resonant themes. (-COVRPRICE)
