The graphic novel is penned by Melissa Chan, an Emmy-nominated foreign correspondent with bases in Los Angeles and Berlin.

This marks the comic book debut for both creators, adding an exciting layer to the anticipation surrounding "You Must Take Part in Revolution."

Here's the official synopsis of the book:

From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao comes a near-future dystopian graphic novel about technology, authoritarian government, and the lengths that one will go to in the fight for freedom.

It's 2035. The US and China are at war. America is a proto-fascist state. Taiwan is divided into two. As conflict escalates between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths who first met in Hong Kong develop diverging beliefs about how best to navigate this techno-authoritarian landscape. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia travel different paths toward transformative change, each confronting to what extent they will fight for freedom, and who they will become in doing so.

A powerful and important book about global totalitarian futures, and the costs of resistance.

"You Must Take Part in Revolution" is set to hit the shelves on March 4, 2025. Secure your copy by preordering on Amazon.
