WHY WE LOVE IT: After POLARITY, we just had to work with
writer (and Say Anything lead singer) Max Bemis again, and his thrilling take
on how a modern society could evolve into an evil empire is absolutely terrifying.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT: Every fan of fiction is aware of
the trope of the “evil, sinister empire” i.e. the Empire in “Star Wars.”
Oftentimes, when we are introduced to these totalitarian establishments, they
are already fully in power and it’s up to our hero to bring back order and
peace. However, in EVIL EMPIRE, we explore how that would unfold in a
real-world setting. How close to the precipice are we right now in the world we
live in? Would we let it happen? More specific to this tale: Would we secretly
WANT it to happen?
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Told through the perspective of an
underground rapper named Reese, Max Bemis’ gripping story explores a scenario
in which we watch modern society gradually evolve (or is it devolve?) into an
evil empire.
