Exclusive ‘Calexit’ # 1 Comic Book Store Variant Covers

Before we wrap up the rest of the variant covers, here’s the official description for the series.

“In CALEXIT, the citizens of California will struggle to seize power back from an autocratic government. The ongoing series tells the story of Jamil, a 25-year old courier (aka smuggler), and Zora, a 27-year old leader in the Pacific Coast Sister Cities Resistance, who escape together from a prison camp in Occupied Los Angeles, where martial law has been in place for the past year — ever since America’s demagogue President signed an executive order to deport all immigrants, and California responded by proclaiming itself a Sanctuary State. Each issue of CALEXIT will also include non-fiction material about local sustainability and grassroots campaigning for 2018 elections.”

Series writer Matteo Pizzolo and artist Amancay Nahuelpan will be going on a Calexit: Change The World Tour of comic stores to promote the book. In a statement, Pizzolo said “Given the level of conversation we expect around Calexit, it made sense to debut the series timed to San Diego Comic Con. Our intention is to spark a dialogue with fans, press and retailers about what’s happening, both in the real world and in the fictional world of Calexit. There’s no better way to do that then hit the road on the Calexit: Comics Change The World Tour signing tour.”
