Anybody hear about Reggie Hudlin and Aaron MacGruder's Birth of a Nation?
Hudlin and McGruder have written a couple of scripts and a graphic novel together. The book, called “Birth of a Nation,” reimagines the 2000 Florida election fiasco in East St. Louis, Illinois, and has the city seceding from the union to form its own country, Blackland. (In Blackland, Denzel Washington is on the twenty-dollar bill.) It will be published this summer.
If anyone is around the San Diego area for the Comicon they will be on a panel talking about it, along with Denys Cowan and Dwayne McDuffie of Milestone fame, and Kyle Baker (of Why I Hate Saturn fame). Saturday from 4:30-6:00pm. Should be interesting.
