Sean Lewis

In Sean Lewis and Hayden Sherman's The Few, America is broken and divided, as the people left alive fight for scraps in the remains of what is now the no-longer United States. As the Republic wages war on the Remainder States, two survivalists find a young woman in the woods with no memories --- and a baby. With the first issue of The Few hitting stores this week, ComicsAlliance caught up with Lewis and Sherman to talk about post-apocalyptic fiction in the current political climate, and what it can tell us about the modern day.

I don't know about you, but when the days get shorter and the weather starts turning cold, I always like to read a few comics set in the winter, just to remind me of how much I enjoy the season. Of course, I tend to like the kind of chill that you get from walking through fallen leaves on a crisp and cloudy day or sledding down a snowy hillside, as opposed to, say, the chill of being shot by soldiers in a dystopian future and bleeding out in a forest while you're trying to protect a mysterious baby. But that's just me. Even so, I'm pretty excited about taking a look at The Few, which debuts from Image in January from Sean Lewis and Hayden Sherman. And if you're in the mood to see the start of a wintry sci-fi adventure, read on for a preview below!
