 American Way Those Above And Below #1 $3.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) John Ridley (A/CA) Georges Jeanty It's been a decade since the Civil Defense Corps was exposed as a fraud created by the U.S. Government for propaganda purposes. While most of the heroes who survived the catastrophe have retired or disappeared, the New American still carries on, trying to keep communities safe amid the social turmoil of the 1970s. But with the nation split in two over civil rights and the changing political landscape, this isn't easy. Some of the American's former colleagues are on opposite sides of the law: Amber Waves joined a group of domestic terrorists, while Missy, a.k.a. Ole Miss, has thrown her hat into the political ring. As the ground shifts beneath his feet and new threats arise, which side will the American choose? This sequel to the hit miniseries by the original team of writer John Ridley (Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave and creator of TV's American Crime) and artist Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight, Serenity: No Power in the 'Verse) moves the story forward in history, factoring in how real-life events might be affected by the presence of superheroes, and how those events change the heroes in turn.

BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer
 Writer John Ridley and Penciller Georges Jeanty return to bring us to a crossroads in the history of the American Way universe. The ideals of the 1940's that brought about the creation of the Civil Defense Corps just barely survived into the 1960's in the original 2006 series. 10 years have passed and the former members are finding themselves being forced into situations they do not want to be in. Ridley really manages to present the choices faced by people who lived through those turbulent times. A real thought provoker. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
