Image Comics is no stranger to post-apocalyptic takes on North America. Little Bird, First Knife, and East of West are only a few examples of careful considerations of how the American empire might end in comics, each of them a uniquely thoughtful take on facets ranging from culture to ecology. Even Steve Skroce’s last work at the publisher—We Stand On Guard with writer Brian K. Vaughan—approached the sub-genre as the American military overreached in conquering Canada. However, Post Americana #1, the newest installment in after-the-fall, creator-owned comics fare, isn’t much concerned with the whys and wherefores of a desolate American landscape, instead it’s focused on the fun to be found in a world with no boundaries and an abundance of violence. Skroce channels the ultraviolent appearances and grungy future tech that made even the darkest chapters of We Stand On Guard a thrill to read and unleashes them in a torrent of nightmare sequences most effectively described as “fun.”
