Coming attractions: Sesame Street is targeted for a dark satire comic book

 For some odd reason, people seem to like comics stories, or stories in general for that matter, set in a dystopian future, where everything is dark & dreary.

At Dark Horse Comics, one such dystopian future is being brought to print in a miniseries set to debut in August.

Welcome to Survival Street.


Writers James Asmus & Jim Festante have worked on Rick & Morty tie-in books, and have crafted a tale that, based on the synopsis, appears to be inspired by a number of sources. It posits that big business is taking over the country in big chunks, and if you think this is in response to certain ill-conceived legislation in certain parts of the country, well, that's a factor, too.

Let's see how long it takes before a certain cable network's on-air staff starts whining and crying about this project.
