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:

In a near-future dystopian world, from Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao, comes a graphic novel exploring technology, authoritarian rule, and the lengths people will go to fight for freedom.

The year is 2035. The US and China are locked in conflict. America is a proto-fascist state, and Taiwan is divided. Amidst escalating tensions between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths, who first met in Hong Kong, find their beliefs diverging on how to navigate this techno-authoritarian landscape. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia embark on separate paths toward transformative change, each confronting the limits of their fight for freedom and the consequences of their choices.

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