There was a long gap between the first and second issues of “Billionaire Island,” due to the shut down of Diamond/the comics industry in the midst of the conoravirus pandemic. In that time, the book went from biting satire to, in a way, contemporary social commentary, with the world that Mark Russell (“Second Coming,” “The Flintstones”) created suddenly looking a lot more like our own. For a lesser book, this would’ve derailed the story. But Russell and Steve Pugh (“Animal Man,” “Blade MAX”) crafted a story that holds up in the environment we find ourselves in and, likely, any situation we find ourselves in the future. We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the third issue, which hits stands on July 22.
