Tom Morello's Leviathan Freedom: Sci-Fi Revolution

0:00It's April 23rd. Welcome to entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine is dropping a fresh comic called Leviathan Freedom. It's a five-issue sci-fi series from Amazon's comics allergy originals, drawing from the real-life daring escape of Robert Smalls, an enslaved man who hijacked a Confederate ship during the Civil War and sailed to freedom with his family and crew. This story blasts Smalls' heroism into a galactic civil war, where a laborer from the bottom rung rebels against the system fueling the fight. Morello teams up with writer Mark Guggenheim, artist C. Zimankadransky, and letterer D.C. Hopkins to bring it to life. Morello's always hunted tales of overlooked revolutionaries, those defiant souls who flip to script against brutal odds. He sees Smalls as a prime example, and reimagining his stand in space, amps up that revolutionary fire for a new crowd. The series kicks off this summer with digital issues only.
