About the series
Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray brought their flair for high-octane, politically charged storytelling to this 2007–2008 DC series, with Renato Arlem delivering the crisp, dynamic artwork. Over eight issues, the team reimagined the Freedom Fighters—patriotic heroes led by the iconic Uncle Sam—as a scrappy resistance force battling a fascist takeover of America. It’s a sharp, modern take on Golden Age archetypes, blending superhero action with a pointed critique of authoritarianism that feels as urgent as it is entertaining.
