Description
An all-new, timely graphic novel continuing the hit futuristic satire JUSTICE WARRIORS, now in its third printing!
It’s election season in Bubble City, the ultra-protected enclave that keeps the rich safe from the mutants of the so-called Uninhabited Zone. But when veteran officer Swamp Cop embarks on a dangerous undercover mission, politics just might wind up coming between him and his beloved partner, Officer Schitt.

Editorial Reviews
“Easily one of the most bizarre and memorable comics to come along in recent memory… This futuristic dystopia makes Judge Dredd seem normal."
IGN.com
"A touching morality tale is set in motion when a consequentialist cop protects his city from a gang of mutant citizens hijacked by parasitic starfish bent on hoarding the city’s supply of baby formula. Immerses the reader in a vortex of oneiric juxtapositions hatched spontaneously from Ben Clarkson’s meticulous linework. Do not analyze, do not seek messages, do not resist. Justice Warriors is no doubt some kind of elaborate hoax, and requires only that you succumb to its power to confound, outrage and delight."
Peter K Chung, creator and director of Æon Flux
“It’s so rare these days for a book to be so fresh while being so entertaining… Bors and Clarkson have tapped into something special with this series. … A book that utilizes the medium in a way only comics can. The perfect book for lapsed comic fans."

‘If you had your developing mind warped by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, Robocop and comic books, and then had it further destroyed by twitter and social media, then JUSTICE WARRIORS will fill those holes in your brain. Ben Clarkson is truly goated on the inks."
