You Must Take Part in Revolution is a collaborative effort between Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan (based in Los Angeles and Berlin) 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. The year is 2035. The US and China are at war; America is a proto-fascist state; Taiwan is divided. As conflict between nuclear powers escalates, three idealistic friends, who first met in Hong Kong, find their beliefs diverging on how to navigate this techno-authoritarian world. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia embark on separate paths toward transformative change, each confronting the extent to which they will fight for freedom, and the sacrifices they will make in the process. A powerful and important book about global totalitarian futures, and the high cost of resistance.
