Survival Street returns in September as the characters take on A.I., kids’ entertainment, American colonialism, and more!
Survival Street: The Radical Left is written by James Asmus, and Jim Festante, with art by Abylay Kussainov, Ellie Wrighter, and Taylor Esposito.
After America is sold off to private companies, this A-B-C-Team of ex-entertainers rescues kids from cruel company towns. But Portland can’t hold everyone they rescue, and the cracks are about to break… Prepare for a radical departure in the series Library Journal called a “blisteringly satirical mash-up of Sesame Street and Robocop.”
“Survival Street started as the creative primal scream Jim in 2020 is probably the most enthusiastic reception of anything I’d done in 16 years of writing comics,” said James Asmus in a press release from Dark Horse Comics. “The idea of these colorful children’s television characters as our gritted heroes was not about shock value or cheap laughs. Volume 2 shifts focus to the thorny struggles that can cause friction or fractures among allies. Really, so much of the magic and success of the series stems from the incredible team who put their passion and skill into the pages. Our editor Daniel Chabon and the team there have kept that legacy alive with incredibly original books by so many of the most exciting creators in comics, we wear the Dark Horse as a badge of honor. We couldn’t be happier that Survival Street is part of their incredible legacy of truly original creator-owned comics.”
Survival Street: The Radical Left #1 (of 4) arrives on September 25, 2024.
