W0RLDTR33 Book One Explores the Darkest Corners of the Undernet this September

Posted on by

The first three story arcs of the taboo-shattering techno-horror series by Multiple Eisner Award winning writer James Tynion IV and superstar artist Fernando Blanco, with colors by Jordie Bellaire and letters by Aditya Bidikar, will be collected for the first time into a deluxe hardcover format. The W0RLDTR33 Book One deluxe hardcover will collect issues #1-16—as well as a cover gallery and initial design material—and will hit shelves in September from Image Comics.

A dark techno-thriller about hackers who discover a hidden layer of the internet that can reshape reality and is rapidly learning how to control it. In 1999, Gabriel and his friends discovered the Undernet: a secret architecture to the internet. They charted their exploration on a message board called W0RLDTR33. Then they lost control.

Someone broke into W0RLDTR33… someone who welcomed the violent hold the Undernet had on them. At great personal cost, Gabriel and the others thought they sealed the Undernet away for good. They were wrong. And now the whole world will know the meaning of PH34R.

Since its launch in 2023, W0RLDTR33 has gone through multiple sell-outs and reprints and garnered massive critical acclaim.

W0RLDTR33 Book One deluxe hardcover (ISBN: 9781534333307, Lunar Code 0326IM0435) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, September 2 and independent bookstores, Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, September 29.
