The Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave returns for an
all-new chapter in his alternate history of The American Way! In
1962 Jason Fisher was given astonishing powers by the United States
government--powers he used to defend the nation as the New
American. He and his teammates in the Civil Defense Corps were
real-life superheroes. Except that it was all a fraud. A
conspiracy. And now, 10 years after the CDC was torn apart by
racism, infighting and murder, the Corps' surviving members find
themselves pulled in very different directions. Missy
Devereaux--a.k.a. Ole Miss--is transitioning from the First Lady of
Mississippi into a candidate for governor and defender of a
vanishing and hateful way of life. Amber Eaton--formerly known as
Amber Waves--has become a domestic terrorist, using her powers to
infiltrate and destroy the country's centers of power. Somewhere in
the middle stands Jason Fisher, who has remained a crime-fighter
even as evidence mounts that he is accomplishing nothing besides
propping up a system that's rigged against him as a black man in
America. In a nation being torn apart, what does it mean to fight
for the American way? A decade after the debut of their
groundbreaking WildStorm series The American Way, Academy
Award-winning writer John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, American Crime)
and artist Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8)
revisit their parallel Earth for a look at its gritty 1970s--a time
frighteningly like our own--in The American Way: Those Above and
Those Below. Collects issues #1-6.
