The Movement, Vol. 1: Class Warfare by Gail Simone, Freddie E. Williams II
4.0
Definitely for adults and older teens, not because of excessive violence, etc. (although there are some beatdowns, references to rape and sexual harassment, and general violence like explosions), but more because they'll be better equipped to understand the themes of haves vs. have-nots, corruption based on commerce, vigilante justice (?), working with enemies for a common goal, hating your allies, and economic factors that can set up the situation outlined in this GN.
Very disappointed it only made it to 12 issues, because I was personally quite intrigued by the storylines (many of them were set up surrounding the many characters making up the movement as well as some of the police officers culpable in the corruption). I also found it interesting to have a broad range of characters of color, with white not being the default even for background characters.
Good for anyone looking for something about social protests, along the lines of the Occupy Movement, as well as diverse and interesting super powers.
