Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics RESISTANCE

A global pandemic leaves hundreds of millions dead in its wake...

It starts present-day/day after tomorrow...then goes off in an unexpected direction!

That's the unexpectedly-timely premise of a new comic series from AWA Studios by J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5 and writer of acclaimed runs on Amazing Spider-Man, Mighty Thor, and Superman: Earth One, and Mike Deodato Jr., blockbuster artist of The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Infinity Wars.

You can see the first issue (for free) in three parts, formatted as a webcomic...

Resistance #1
J Michael Stracznski & Mike Deodato Jr

Return of the "Relevant" Hero

Starting with Superman #700, noted writer J Michael Straczynski is sending The Man of Steel on a walking tour across America.
The reason given is that Superman has lost touch with the average American and that he'll be able to "re-connect" with the people if he "walks among them".

A similar concept was done (by DC) in 1970, when conservative Green Lantern and liberal Green Arrow tried to "reconnect" with the "common man" in Green Lantern/Green Arrow #76-89.
(Interestingly, the comic book was canceled before the plotline ended.)

I'm wondering if the Superman series will be a "feel-good" story that glosses over the imperfections of the country, or, will it deal with social and environmental issues like the GL/GA series did. (NOTE: to be fair,  GL/GA sometimes did so in a very heavy-handed way. But, give them credit, they tried!)

We'll be watching to see how this develops...
