Justice Warriors by Matt Bors, Ben Clarkson, Felipe Sobriero
4.25
adventurous funny lighthearted fast-paced

Wealth inequality, police (non) accountability, social media culture, & U.S. municipal politics are just some of the issues that collide to make a comic that feels like Judge Dredd meets Anna Dorn's Exalted. I Ideas like the speculative bread bubble, the fame obsessed political class, & the astrology fanatic revolutionaries, make Justice Warriors feel very reflective of our times. Unlike a great many other great comics, there's something about Justice Warriors that feels like it would resist adaptation into a movie. The characterization of Bubble City/the UZ would be difficult for Hollywood to get right. & maybe only Bors & Clarkson are able to make a story featuring a turd & a swamp monster as the main characters compelling.
