Theme parks have already become political battlegrounds, but what if they became actual battlegrounds? What if the culture wars became actual wars? As mass demonstrations consume Hollywood, the comic book Calexit considers the question: What if California refused to be ruled?

This is the world of Calexit: The Battle of Universal City, the new comic book series launching this July from Black Mask Studios. Together writer Matteo Pizzolo and artist C. Granda, the creators of Rogue State, have created a timely title about young rebels willing to risk it all for freedom of thought.

In Calexit: The Battle of Universal City, it’s total war on the streets of Los Angeles as rebel leader Zora rallies her Mulholland Resistance to seize freedom or die trying. The battle rages all the way to the iconic Hollywood theme park in Universal City where Zora’s Resistance fighters make a last stand against Homeland Security’s Occupying Forces. Warzone courier Jamil has been hired to spirit Zora away from the firefight to a Resistance stronghold, but Zora won’t be dragged to safety without a fight.

The first issue of Calexit: The Battle of Universal City is set for release from Black Mask Studios at Comic Con International, followed directly by your favorite local comic shop.
