WHAT IF CALIFORNIA REFUSED TO BE RULED? “Black Mask is drop-kicking Fascism.” (-Rolling Stone) In CALEXIT, the citizens of the California Sovereign Republic struggle to seize power back from U.S. occupying forces. Jamil, a warzone courier (aka smuggler), and Zora, a young leader in the Mulholland Resistance, attempt to escape Occupied Los Angeles — but it’s total war on the streets of Los Angeles as California attempts to seize freedom or die trying. “It’s a genre known as ‘speculative fiction,’ but it doesn’t seem so speculative anymore.” (-The San Francisco Chronicle) Collects issues 1-3.
