Preview A Harrowing Immigration Tale In Americatown From Archaia Out This Week
Archaia has a lot of great releases coming out this week. One that I was looking forward to in particular was their new series Americatown. Written by Bradford Winters (Oz, Boss, The Americans) and Larry Cohen (Netflix's Borgia), with art by Daniel Irizarri, Americatown brings us a story that starts after an economic collapse. Americans are now the legal and illegal immigrants living abroad. They find work in cities like Buenos Aires, where their very own enclave known as "Americatown" has taken root. Main character, Owen, a recent arrival, begins a journey to support and save his splintered family divided between the enclave and home back in the U.S. His struggle is just a small part of the hardships and conflicting agendas in an immigrant community trying to build itself in the shadow of America's Fall.
Take a look at the first five pages below, and be sure to pick up a copy when it releases on Wednesday.
