The Future Is ******

    (REKCAH!, 2025)

The hacker wars are over. The black hats won. Who will save us from the world that’s coming? Black Mountain—a rogue band of digital ronin, freebooters, and hackers—fight against a world ruled by data barons, artificial overlords, and technological terrorists. Each operative is paired with a sprite, an AI partner as unpredictable as the human it serves. At the center is Wheeler, a former black hat hacker dragged back into a war he thought he escaped. His team includes: Martina De León—An Olympic-level infiltrator who operates in the real world. Sally Chu—A hardware engineer fresh from nine years living in orbit. Eli Nilsson—A system vulnerabilities expert trapped between reality and augmented reality. ART & ARF—A machine intelligence obsessed with human creativity—and the dog it’s bound to. Their mission: stop Jason Roanoke. A self-proclaimed visionary, Roanoke once controlled the world’s supply chains, private armies, and the lives of those who exist under his authority. He now rules from Tranquility Base, a lunar fortress beyond government reach. Roanoke is the first corporate king of space—and the future itself is his to shape unless Black Mountain stop him.This is The Future Is ******, a 60-issue cyber-sci-fi epic fusing the shadow warfare of Mr. Robot, the kinetic action of The Matrix, and the thrilling espionage of Ghost in the Shell.
