The Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, songwriter, and activist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and Prophets of Rage is returning to comics for Leviathan Freedom, an all-new sci-fi epic inspired by the true story of American icon Robert Smalls. Morello first made his comics debut with the acclaimed series Orchid in 2011. Now, the lifelong comics fan is uniting with Emmy award-winning writer/producer Marc Guggenheim (Star Wars: Jar Jar, The Whisper War, The Arrowverse), artist Szymon Kudrański (Spawn; Punisher) and letterer DC Hopkins for a five-issue mini-series event from Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line. Leviathan Freedom #1 arrives June 16.

Leviathan Freedom is a sci-fi reimagining of the legacy of Robert Smalls, a man born into slavery who seized his own freedom by commandeering a Confederate warship, sailing himself, his family, and others to liberation.

In Leviathan Freedom, the galaxy is divided by civil war. And the profound human cost of conflict is felt not in the war rooms but by the Doldrums, the laborer caste essential for the war machine–until one man decides to stand against it.

Morello is on tour now, see the schedule here. For more info: https://www.tommorello.com/
