Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello has teamed up with writer/producer Marc Guggenheim, artist Szymon Kudrański, and letterer DC Hopkins for “Leviathan Freedom.” The five-part comic series is a sci-fi reimagining of a true story about Robert Smalls and it will debut this summer as part of the Amazon Comixology Originals digital content line.

The following was said about the series:

“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 commented:

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been on a mission to unearth the stories of revolutionaries — the fighters, the visionaries, the ones history either buries or sanitizes beyond recognition. Their courage, defiance, and unwavering pursuit of justice, often in the face of seemingly impossible odds, have shaped the world, even if their names are too often left out of the narrative. Robert Smalls is one of those heroes. The idea of taking his revolutionary spirit and launching it into the cosmos feels like a perfect extension of his fight.”

Guggenheim added:

“‘Leviathan Freedom’ comes as a reminder that true freedom is rarely given and very often must be taken.”
