Evil Empire

In this three-issue series from Boom! Studios, writer Max Bemis and artist Ransom Getty explore a near-future where a mysterious corporation has weaponized the very concept of villainy, turning pop-culture rebellion into a tool for social control. Set against a backdrop of manufactured dissent, the story follows a disillusioned everyman caught between the allure of a branded counterculture and the grim reality of a world where even your anger can be monetized. A sharp, self-aware thriller from the mid-2010s, Evil Empire dissects the commodification of rebellion with a punk-rock sensibility and a cynical eye on media manipulation.
