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.KEY SELLING POINTSA bold commitment—A 60-issue saga in today’s comic landscape.Cutting-edge cyberpunk storytelling from New York Times Bestseller Fred Van Lente (Deadpool vs. The Punisher, Marvel Zombies).High-tech, high-tension visuals from Ennio Bufi (Assassin’s Creed: Bloodstone).Cover by the legendary artist Jae Lee (Dark Tower, Inhumans).Interactive hacker experience with Capture the Flag challenges in each issue.
