After Kamala Harris' disastrous loss, the popular social media account @TheWapplehouse posted, "sorry guys I'll vote harder next time."

It's a sentiment that mocks what moved from pressure to cast a ballot for a deeply flawed candidate to a very real threat  --  to stop protesting, fall in line and go around telling everyone everywhere to vote for Democrats with more fervor, or else we would get a Republican in charge and it would be your fault.

The new graphic novel that I co-wrote with artist Ben Clarkson, Justice Warriors: Vote Harder, is a political thriller for our deranged online era that speaks directly to these sociopolitical dynamics. Our book isn't about blue states and red states; it's a far-future dystopia packed with mutants, cyberpunk hyper-inequality and sicko elites who tip the scales even further in their favor. So it rhymes with our present.
