Bleeding Cool reeported on Jason Blanchard of comic book publisher and cyber security firk Rekcah and his presentation at ComicsPRO, and that it may have been the best presentation of a new comic book I have ever seen. The Future Is… by Fred Van Lente and Ennio Bufi.

Sixty issues are long, monthly, and there is one cover per issue from an industry great. Each issue will contain a clue that can be solved to determine the full title of that issue by uncovering six characters. The Future Is… Bright? The Future Is… Daring? You can work it out and, in doing so, use or develop your own cryptocracking skills. All around a comic book set thirty years in the future. And a comic book that appealed to cyber security folk also opens up a new audience for the comic book stores. A sixty issue, five year sci-fi monthly series with a strong focus and lead characters, with the audacity to launch with a 100+page first issue for $13.37 and subsequent issues at $4.04. And now, courtesy of Lunar Distribution, the solicits for the first three issues, launching in May.
