Was the Movement your idea? How did you develop it?

It was my idea, yes, it started as a germ of an idea when it became very clear that the mainstream media was not covering protests for civil rights, no matter how large the crowds were.

I couldn’t help thinking, what if they HAD to pay attention to the voices of the disenfranchised?

A lot of what comics are about right now are artificial conflicts and the protection of valuables. I think, just for balance, it’s interesting to have another pov.

People think the book is purely from a liberal perspective, but we will see that’s not entirely the case. It’s going to be challenging at times, which I love.

Development was the same way I develop anything, think about it endlessly, take a million notes, then get paired up with a wonderful artist who can design those notes into a visual form.

Having a great editor in Joey Cavalieri helps a lot, too.
