Best Comic of the Week:
Post Americana #1 – Steve Skroce returns with a new series set after the fall of the American Empire. A secret government facility has been housing the remnants of the military, and a bunch of rich people, who are now ready to pull a First Order, and take over the Wasteland. A small group tries to stop them, and two escape. At the same time, a young woman is discovered by a tribe of cannibals and scavengers, who go to investigate the crash of the vessel the first two men escaped in. This is an irreverent look at post-Apocalyptic society, which owes as much to Garth Ennis’s Crossed as it does to movies like The Omega Man, and it’s kind of fun. Skroce is a great artist, and writes to his strengths, so there’s a lot to enjoy here.

This long, strange year has meant that comics publishers and creators have been forced to adapt in a number of ways, from virtual convention appearances to increases in comics crowdfunding to working with nonprofits to help retailers and beyond. While the circumstances are unfortunate, some of that adaptation has meant that in many cases fans are getting closer to the comics themselves than ever before, whether it s through live Q&A experiences they haven t ever gotten to witness in-person, or live drawing demonstrations broadcast across the web. As 2020 turns into 2021, two of comics top creators are harnessing that kind of energy to do something even bigger: Create an entire comic before our very eyes.
