Right State by Mat Johnson
In the week leading up to a major campaign speech, the Secret Service discovers that an extremist militia group is plotting to assassinate America's second African American President. The best chance to advert this crisis is to infiltrate the group using an ex-Special Forces war hero turned conservative media pundit named Ted Akers. While Aker's politics make him a hero to the right-wing fringe and no friend to the current Administration, he takes the assignment. What follows is an adrenaline-fueled race against time to stop a President from dying and a country from being ripped apart! An original graphic novel by Mat Johnson (Incognegro, Dark Rain) and Andrea Mutti(Girl With The Dragon Tattoo).
