Nightly News

A single, oversized issue from Urban Comics, Nightly News (2014) is a dense, visually ambitious one-shot that examines the fraught relationship between corporate news media and public trust. The project is most associated with writer/artist Jonathan Hickman, whose signature data-driven, infographic-heavy storytelling style dissects the mechanisms of modern propaganda and information warfare. Though brief, this standalone graphic novel is a potent, self-contained statement on media manipulation, marking an early and influential example of Hickman's thematic preoccupations before his major work at Marvel.
