NOT JUST KINGS. NOT JUST GENERALS.

MILO DOESN’T DO THIS ALONE
Workers’ struggles, rebellious art and liberation movements share something: people who imagined a different world and set out to build it.
These are the first voices of WeTheComuna. Every new character will bring their own color and story.
