 Hello All,                                                                                                                                                          As of yet I don't happen to have a very comfortable or confident title for today's very entry, which is very much greatly understandable since today is really reflected of great sadness of what happened in New York. Which was a very venturous and violent attempt to inspire fear throughout a whole country that cherishes freedom for all of it's many citizens.... of ALL diversities of choosing what each of us likes to do within reasonable understandings. The event that had happen over twenty two years ago was of two airplanes that were FORCED by a group of people calling themselves Al Qaeda took control of those planes flew them with their hostages into the two towers known                                                 

                                            as the twin towers or as the world Trade center.                                            All of these many years later it still fills my soul with genuine sadness for everyone who did perished from all of the passengers of both planes also I deep down have emotions towards the terrorists because even though what they were doing was a true introduction of real EVIL on American soil... because they like every other person on the planes were simply humans. Beside that as well in the end of that horrible set of actions to which they wound up with nothing for their existence, even if by their train of thoughtfulness was assuming that they would meet their deity.                                                          In the past when I have written about September 11th, 2001 I have reflected on the helpers by remembering the firefighters and police officers through a series that I grew up on when I was very young about two paramedics known as Roy Desoto and Johnny Gage in the nineteen seventies,  I watched it in it's first go around of repeated syndication.... here are the two them showing         

    how much that they care by helping someone's whom is injured! The series is known as EMERGENCY! Maybe soon after this I will be reviewing that whole series since I have it in a collective edition on DVD. Yet with all that said of helping other people everywhere there's  that first brain teaser from a few years ago....                                                                            I want to this September 11th of twenty, twenty three want talk about a certain comic trade that I picked up back at the end of this past July from at Barnes and Nobles. Still before we delve into  the review of this very trade seen here 
                                                                                                     in my pal Spider-Man's hands is that besides there is without any doubt more than just the disheartening events of September 11th of two thousand and one of why I went and picked up POST AMERICANA which is published by IMAGE COMICS imprint. The story and illustrations of POST AMERICANA is by comic artist Steve Skroce and also comic artist Dave Stewart is the colorist of the story. Both men worked for years for both Decetevice Comics and Marvel Comics and their characters at least a few decades ago known as the nineteen nineties... 
                          This trade consists of seven issues for the whole story and in it, it has both a post apocalyptic science fiction political intrigue and some unknowable time within the future.  Only the super elite rich are who run what is left of whatever is left of the government and the those not fortuitous to have money have become completely free of everyday morals an decide to be cannibals. Then there are some groups of people who are trying to get back to normality who are called by the current president of America are terrorists and are to be captured at all cost.  Before I go on even more so with this summary so far, it seems to be far fecthed look at what the unknowns of the past few years have brought upon us as a species? Do we or don't we have more distrustfulness on somethings more than we should?, I haven't expressed any feelings/thoughts on how I believe that fear has changed us from understanding that yes we do still need to certainly challenge ourselves as humans everyday, and yes it's always fascinating how we as humans come to our unique approach to answering those struggling questions of  which we in our judgements are right on of choosing our options of world wide views.                                   Back to the ongoing review of the POST AMERICANA trade with it having a very interesting setup of two men who were once prisoners have turn to being part of an unknown terrorist group and they are attacking a facility known as the Bubble. They are known as Dom and Mike and they in part succeeded getting an military sleath jet. 
....And come to find out that while stealing it something has gone wrong with the guidance systems forcing them to do the unthinkable of landing in one of the country's most dangerous wastelands areas. 
                     They find in this area where they have ended up that cannibals are whom reside here and that they love creativity from the past. When one of these two men are trying to find a way to convince their captors that he wants to help them by sharing information with one of their leaders he finds out more than he could be hoping for?                                   There is more to this story than just interweaving of who's plotical right over each other, it's also has one thing that all comics should have but very little of it is really shown in most comics from both Decetevice and Marvel comics of recently that in the end comes from this panel here....
                         
from a character known as Eggbert as he explains of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson presidency of in sometime of the 21st century to his crazed master Marcy whose got her own plans for the world. Basically with in a story of such seriousness you get a moment to bust a gut with a small smile and of course a huge laugh. It has a love story in it as well, between a mother and a daughter.                                                                                                              The most interesting thing about this story was that Skroce came up with it during the time of Covid-19 when for a long period of time if the series were published by Detective or Marvel it would not see potential print. The reasoning behind that was the entire editorial department board of both companies of mainstream comics had said from late February of twenty, twenty till they were ready that everyone who was working on a title for them was to stop their creative juices and not write, ink, or even draw a single page of any kind till the editorial department was ready to start receiving new work from any freelance artists. Which if I am remembering right wasn't until summer time of Twenty, Twenty two before they started receiving work again! Besides that the series wouldn't have also seen print because not only does it show a negative effect on how the government in the story is in disarray of itself,  Steve Skroce had there be enough cursing that it would have to be published by a strong independent publisher who were respectful of their incoming series or ideas of series to be of how that creative person was viewing the onset of current culture of their own world during the craziness of extreme conditions during the pandemic. Overall I there are two very important things that I really have to say before giving this trade a grade of how much I loved or liked it as a whole. Those two things are one don't ever think that I want you to stop living your own life however you see that it works for you. Number two concerning your plotical decision-making continue to be the best part of sharing what YOUR BELIEFS ARE WHEN YOU VOTE, AND EFFECTIVELY YOU JUST MATTER NO MATTER WHAT IS ALBOUSTULELY GOING ON IN OUR WORLD.  My grade for POST AMERICANA is a solid A MINUS!
