Deep dives
Overview of Justice Warriors
Justice Warriors is a satirical comic book set in a future city called Bubble City, where a domed utopia exists alongside a crime-ridden slum called the Uninhabited Zone. The story follows two cops, Swamp Cop and his partner Shit, as they navigate the complex social structures and ideological tensions within the city. The comic explores themes of class, fascism, racism, police brutality, and late-stage capitalism. It critiques police media, copaganda, and societal norms through the lens of a buddy cop dynamic. One of the central elements is the Libra Gang, a mutant gang that represents people without a clear understanding of the material world, who latch onto random ideologies to seek solutions without taking responsibility for constructing an alternative. The comic challenges the notion that stripping away illusions will reveal a universal truth and highlights the dangers of reactionary ideologies.
