What is the 1/6 Insurrection had been successful? This comic book explores that idea. It is not as far-fetched as some might think. A few little differences and that day could have ended quuite differently.

4.0

It feels a little early to leave an accurate review from the first issue alone, but I like the premise of the comic and believe the story to come could be very good.

The imagery included in this issue was jarring and toed the line between being ludicrous yet entirely possible, or even likely as an understanding of history (or present reality for that matter) and the ability to think critically is clearly lost on the people who tried to overthrow the government.

I’m looking forward to future issues to see where exactly this series goes.

It is the first in the series and just an introduction to the characters. So far, it seems as though the narrative is smartly assessing what led up to that day from the point of view of the average American rather than blaming one entity or organization.
