After all, it's a tale about the establishment of a breakaway Californian republic in the wake of a presidency not too dissimilar from our current one. But trust me, it works. There are no easy gags about Californians, no silly jabs at Trumpism, and no over-the-top satire of our current state of decline. Instead, the creators have opted to tell a terrifyingly straightforward suspense story about the intrigues and crackdowns that ensue when governments decay and societies rot. The scariest thing about CALEXIT is how lived-in it feels - after all, every dystopia is just an accurate description of how things are for other people somewhere in the world, and this story just reminds us that we're always a hair's breadth away from the very bad things that we assume only happen in failed states.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e-\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vulture.com\/2017\/06\/the-8-best-comic-books-to-read-in-july.html\" title=\"Calexit comic book graphic novel review on Vulture NY Magazine\"\u003eVulture\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"CALEXIT is the new face of resistance in comics, elbowing past incumbents and upstarts alike by prioritizing precision, clarity, and empathy over sound and fury.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Comicosity\u003c\/strong\u003e (10 out of 10 review)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"Far from a grim portrait of a country under siege... a hopeful and optimistic message about people and their relationship to political power.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e-\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/07\/18\/books\/comic-books-that-put-the-pow-in-political-power.html\" title=\"Calexit comic book graphic novel news coverage New York Times\"\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"CALEXIT is a book that hits your brain like a slug to the chest.
