This is the most important election of our lifetime. And what I’m about to show you might be the most important comic book trailer of our lifetime, too, as H. Jon Benjamin and Jefferson White star in the new teaser for Justice Warriors 2: Vote Harder from AHOY Comics.
Created by Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson, Justice Warriors is a wild satire of capitalism, the police, and politics — and it looks to only get more unhinged in volume two. That’s exactly what you get in the trailer for the book, which is directed, animated, and produced by Clarkson. It stars H. Jon Benjamin (Bob’s Burgers, Archer) as Schitt, and Jefferson White (Yellowstone) as Swamp Cop, police officers and former partners who may now find themselves on opposite sides of the political divide.
“JUSTICE WARRIORS is a world of blazing action, warped characters and caustic politics all rolled up into an Akira-meets-Lethal Weapon-reboot of The Simpsons,” said Clarkson via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “To see it come to life in animation causes heart palpitations. Be advised.”
In addition to the above creatives, the trailer includes music by Brendan James, aka The Great Vorelli, audio engineering by Vlad Baran, sound design by Diego Escobar, and voice acting by Clarkson, Ben Vigus, Shanthony Exum, Simon Bracken, Kristina Guevarra, and Shaumbé.
“We didn’t want to create your typical book trailer for this comic,” added Bors. “Ben has animated this entire trailer from scratch to work as its own short, enticing film. Citizens will be given a glimpse of the story we tell in our new graphic novel and what it might mean to Vote Harder.”
Justice Warriors: Vote Harder hits comic book stores on September 11, 2024. Check out the trailer, below.
