NOV. 8, 2024, (PORTLAND, OR) — Coming this Wednesday from Magnetic Press: NO FUTURE, a deluxe satirical cyberpunk graphic novel by the award-winning screenwriter Corbeyran and fan-favorite illustrator Jef. The acclaimed creative team behind A Bullet in the Head reunites to deliver a neo-noir story that recaptures the pulse and aesthetic of classic sci-fi with vivid, nostalgic artwork.
Imagine flying cars, robot servants, and universal freedom to live without limits—a dreamlike future, right? Not quite. In this world, the line between utopia and dystopia is razor-thin and trampled underfoot. Far-left and far-right politics curve back around, reflecting each other in a warped, endless struggle.
In this future, interstellar mega-corporations set the rules, controlling politics through market manipulation, while the masses are lulled by the comforts of consumerism. Yet, beneath the corporate sheen, pockets of resistance simmer in the gritty depths of the lower streets. Sometimes, all it takes is a single spark to ignite a revolution…
A striking commentary on modern times, No Future is a fusion of The Fifth Element, Blade Runner, Brazil, and Idiocracy!
Stella Corp is the leading provider of space tourism, a trillion-dollar enterprise that led mankind to settle the stars. Corruption along the way can be assumed, but no one could possibly know the depths of it, not as rigidly as they police their own secrets. When a lone thief manages to steal secret documents, however, they call in mercenary bounty hunter HALEN BRENNAN to track him down, retrieve the stolen material, and eliminate the culprit. Her cold, callous demeanor is put to the test, however, when she finds the target: JEAN-CLAUDE BELMONDEAU, a down-on-his-luck thief with seemingly noble intentions…
This neo-noir blockbuster graphic novel recaptures the energy and aesthetic of classic sci-fi masters such as Moebius, Bilal, Juan Gimenez, and Ladronn with a modern flair.
No Future, a highspeed cyberpunk vision of tomorrow, drops in shops Nov. 13.
