Justice is blind — until it chooses to see. ?? New series from AWA ?? THEY CHOOSE VIOLENCE is a razor-sharp, high-stakes crime thriller from breakout writer Sheldon Allen ( @sheldonwroteit ), artist Mauricio Campetella, and cover artist Rahzzah ( @rahzzah) that asks the question: what happens when the system fails and the only path forward is vengeance? THEY CHOOSE VIOLENCE follows Laneka, Deidre, and Karen, three Black HBCU friends turned accomplished professionals band together to form a vigilante squad that targets White Supremacists deemed to have circumvented the justice system and gotten away with murder. Serving up grisly justice in increasingly creative ways, the vigilante posse becomes cult heroes and front-page news, while always staying one step ahead of the law. It’s effective, it’s cathartic, it’s kinda fun, until they are forced to confront the consequences of their actions — a copycat killer whose signature contains a special message to them — and the line between hero and villain begins to blur. ?? Justice. Vengeance. Consequence. Are you ready? ?? Final Order Cutoff (FOC): May 19 — Tell your local comic shop now! ??
