A review by trike
The American Way by Georges Jeanty, John Ridley

4.0

This book was in the vein of Busiek's Astro City, setting up an alternate history with superheroes. In this case, the political and racial tensions of the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis coupled with the fight for Civil Rights. As such there is a lot of strong language, with plenty of F-bombs and N-words tossed around, but none of it is gratuitous. It's an interesting take on that era, but it's also a pretty good story in and of itself.
