With the last couple of chapters put out, I felt it necessary to explain a bit about the world Lynx and the other's live in.
This is a United States bereft of democracy and taken over by fear, money, racism, sexism, bigotry, prejudice and the oligarchs.
If you are not White, Christian, or part of the upper class (the Oligarchs, rich, politicians, scientist, engineers, educators, and military officers, etc.) you are nobody. You are useful only as cannon fodder, as a disposable product. Better off dead.
This image of a bleak, scary future for the United States has haunted me since 1992.
As time has passed, the fear has ebbed and flowed, but never quite gone. The fear that our democracy is a fragile thing needing the right spark to make it go away never went away.
Now, we find ourselves in a potential United States that seems closer to becoming this nightmare than ever before.
Does this flag make you think of something else? It should, that is what happened in the world I created. Nationalism took over, fascism took over, totalitarianism took over.
The only remnants of what once was lies in the color of the star, it still holds the old Red, White and Blue.
But everything else is the akin to the Iron Eagle, the Black and White Dogma that governs the nation in Vanguard.
But the comic is hopefully about hope and overcoming this as I hope we can overcome what is happening in our country. https://www.deviantart.com/silran666/art/New-United-States-Flag-970036546
