The mind of Medus, a powerful crime boss, escapes Olympos as an AI, hijacking a bot factory to rebuild her army. Now, Lois must return to the fray, as cyberspace becomes the next battlefield. The ninth chapter of NULLHUNTER, the cyberpunk retelling of Hercules from writer MICHAEL WALSH and artist GUSTAFFO VARGAS, is out in June.
The experiment still manages to work overall. The fusion of ancient legend with contemporary cyberpunk sci-fi set in the far future...well...it all works. Theres no breathtaking sense of insight that might have otherwise come to a more sophisticated integration between the deeper connotations of cyberpunk and the ancient legends that are being fused into it. This is kind of a pity as the cyberpunk sub-genre DOES have great potential to hack into deeper connections between ancient heroic notions and the contemporary post-modern state of existence at the birth of the age of information.
