This Friday marks the premiere of The Purge: Election Year, the third installment in the shockingly
profitable political horror/dystopian thriller/Slasher action film series. Yes, The Purge wears many hats but the one most key to this article is
that of political horror, which this latest installment seems to be getting
back to in a big way.
There was
still a socio-economic angle to the excellent Purge: Anarchy but Election
Year looks to be taking the “American nightmare” set-up full force with a
ton of creepy, Slasher infused American iconography punctuating pretty much all
the marketing for it. All that
nightmarish Americana got me thinking about Evil
Empire, a fantastic comic from BOOM Studios about the rise of anarchic
fascism in the US.
It was a great
comic and my number 10 pick for the 10 best comics of 2015, it also featured a
ton of spectacular covers that we’re going to showcase today. So, with that said, let’s dive into the
shallow end and get the cover story on the top 15 Evil Empire comic covers.
