The American Way by Georges Jeanty and John Ridley
Requirements: CBR Reader, 104 MB.
Overview: Critically acclaimed novelist and screenwriter John Ridley (THE Authority: Human on the Inside, Three Kings) and artist Georges Jeanty (Majestic) offer a unique vision of U.S. history in THE AMERICAN WAY, a thrilling 8-issue miniseries! The 1960s were a decade of incredible change for America. It was a time of innocence. It was a time of optimism. It was a time of heroes. In the early ’40s, the United States government hatched a plan to create the Civil Defense Corps: a group of ‘super-heroes’ who could fight alien invasions, evil super-powered beings, and communism, all in front of an adoring public, courtesy of television. But that dream was far from reality by the ’60s, as new C.D.C. Marketing Director Wesley Catham is about to discover. How far will America go to protect its dream of a better tomorrow?

- During the Cold War and at the start of the Civil Rights movement, the United States deterred the Communist threat and won the hearts and minds of the people around the world with their superhero team, The Civil Defense Corps!
What the world doesn’t know is that the team was created by the US government right after WWII, and that the gripping superhero battles were really staged.
A down on his luck car salesman gets offered a job at managing the PR of the team, and with the veil raised, he sees the fight as formulaic, sloppy, and the heroes becoming just plain lazy.
To reinvigorate the team, and to use the team’s inspiration as a jumping tool for good, he introduces a new hero, The New American. With a rocket pack on his back, and the bravery and strength to do what’s right, the New American is a modern man of the space age and America’s greatest hero. And the New American is African-American.
Is America ready for this new hero, and more importantly for the social change?
