Set in an alternate reality where the social order of "white" and "black" is reversed, an elitist family, the Cottons, are rocked by a tragic shooting that begins to unravel long standing family secrets that could not only destroy the family but also divide the fragile social climate of the world.
Creators Patrick Foreman, Brian Hawkins, and Marco Perugini serve up a healthy dose of real-world reality by creating an alternate world where the social order of black and white is switched. Read Full Review
This issue does not cover any new ground on policing the police. Or Whose lives matters over whom. It did make me aware of my own Implicit Bias, and that is a good thing. I see this as having the potential of being the next Bitter Root, so I as speculator I'm going to pick up a copy and keep an eye on this story. Read Full Review
Patrick Foreman and Brian Hawkins' Black Cotton flips our entire world on its head in a simple way, delivering a biting alternate history where racial dynamics in America are reversed and the killing of a white woman by a black police officer sparks "White Lives Matter" protests and worries from a decades old family about protecting what's theirs.

This comic makes you think. It isn't designed to be an easy read or fun and enjoyable. Instead, we are taken into a different perspective of recent events that we may not have thought of. This makes it a great read because it reflects modern events. Read Full Review

Hopefully future issues deliver a bit more to chew on and contemplate as the story progresses. Read Full Review
