At New York Comic Con, Image Comics has announced that bestselling writer Gerry Duggan and artist David O’Sullivan are teaming up for the all-new ongoing series Analog.
ANALOG is the future our society is failing to prepare for. The basic security of the internet crumbles after devastating attacks on the internet result in mass doxxing. People, corporations and governments are all affected and the world is changed overnight. Secrets once entrusted to encrypted emails are now printed on paper, put into briefcases and sent around the world in the hands of discreetly armed couriers. Jack McGinnis is a hard-drinking, hard headed former member of the US intelligence community who now earns a living as a “ledger man”.
“David O’Sullivan is lushly rendering a world that is chaotic, beautiful and repulsive, sometimes on the same page,” said Duggan. “He and Jordie Bellaire are the perfect collaborators to leap over this post-fascist tale of the great crash of the information age.”
“Gerry creates a world where all hope is lost and yet a glimmer exists in the very person who tipped it into the abyss,” added O’Sullivan. “He makes you care about humanity when it’s at its lowest. There’s also lots of violence, the main character is essentially a walking punch bag!”
Analog is slated to launch in 2018.
