Continuing from issue #2 thrilling cliffhanger, Li'l Bro was left behind enemy lines, but it’s right where he wants to be. Meanwhile, in the boardroom, Richard is facing the consequences of setting his loyalties aside for personal gain. In this penultimate issue of the series, we’ll examine what drives the sibling duo of Big Sis and LB, while Robyn and Christina face-off in a corporate power struggle.
CONCEPT:
In the near future, ©alifornia, Inc. is a new corporate country still in its formative years with factions in-fighting to achieve their ideal of what the new nation should be. This is issue #1 of the 4-issue miniseries written by Arthur N. Ebuen (animator - The Simpsons, Futurama), illustrated by Dave Law (The Space Odditorium, Thoughtscape, Wolf Punks), edited by Justin Giampaoli (Rome West, Starship Down, The Mercy Killing), and lettered by Frank Cvetkovic (Blink, Count Crowley, Cyberpunk 2077).
OVERVIEW:
It’s 2047, 18 years after ©alifornia seceded from the United States. After creating a new fresh water source to ensure independence, ©alifornia’s borders are closed, and it supplies 80% of North America’s produce. With Silicon Valley, high-tech is the largest source of revenue, their massive military presence is now privatized, and Hollywood PR continues to shape the world in its image. All citizens are employees of ©alifornia, Inc. and live the ideal ©alifornian life; surf, sun, and gluten-free. But as employees living on company property, certain privacy rights are waived. With CCTV on every corner, ©alifornia is little more than a totalitarian state masquerading as a utopia, and no one is bigger than the brand, even the top brass.
AUDIENCE:
©alifornia, Inc. is for fans of Showtime’s Homeland and HBO’s Succession. It combines the geopolitical chess moves of each power-player and influencer with the pulse-pounding action of tactical military missions, featuring the soldiers and statesmen of ©alifornia, Inc.
