The Aftermath: Battle & Trauma in Comics Panel at Inaugural DC in D.C. Event at Newseum
DC’s Batman writer and former CIA counter-terrorism operations officer, Tom King, along with artist Mitch Gerads take on Jack Kirby’s Mister Miracle in a new monthly comic book which focuses on a Super Hero who grapples with post-traumatic stress disorder, an issue not often seen in comics and tragically overlooked in the real world.
King and Gerads are joined by Gotham recurring guest star J.W. Cortez (a 13-year Marine combat veteran and a police officer with the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority), Dr. Vivek Murthy, the 19th Surgeon General of the United States, and Jason Inman, host of DC All Access and U.S. Army Veteran.
Moderated by Melissa Bryant, Director for Political & Intergovernmental Affairs, Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America
