Back in the '80s, Chaykin's American Flagg! showed materialistic, willingly manipulated masses at the mercy of a cynical elite however, that comic kept its tongue in its cheek, unlike City of Tomorrow's prevalent sneer. He decides he wants to fix this society, even if that means fighting his father, gangs of robot mobsters and the U.S. Now, after serving as a clandestine wetwork operative, he returns home to find the robots corrupted, and Columbia even more vile than the rest of the world. Then he realized what a stifling, monomaniacal vision the place embodied, so he stomped off to explore life. Young Tucker Foyle watched his father use nanotechnology to create Columbia, a utopian community served by biomechanical robots. Writer/artist Chaykin's latest depiction of the rotting American Dream may be his most bitter yet, but it's also one of his most exciting.
