You Must Take Part in Revolution is a collaborative effort between Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and acclaimed activist artist Badiucao, often dubbed "China's Banksy." This marks the comic book debut for both creators.

Here's the official synopsis:

From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao comes a near-future dystopian graphic novel exploring technology, authoritarian government, and the lengths individuals will go to fight for freedom.

Set in 2035, amidst a war between the US and China, America is depicted as a proto-fascist state, and Taiwan is divided. As tensions escalate between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths who met in Hong Kong find themselves diverging in their beliefs on navigating this techno-authoritarian world. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia embark on separate paths toward transformative change, each confronting the extent of their commitment to freedom and the personal transformations they undergo.

A powerful and poignant exploration of global totalitarian futures and the sacrifices demanded by resistance.
