The Future Is… #4 continues the interesting concept in a frustrating package

Sally is an “orbital,” living in our upper atmosphere, and has not touched Earth for ten years. She acts as a spacebound Robin Hood, helping those in need from afar, hacking satellites wielded by their corporate oppressors. And now: Wheeler’s recruited her for the ultimate heist, to fight back against the badder guys behind the bad guys.

These are higher stakes than any she’s faced before. The only thing standing between her and a collision course with space’s endless void is metal, grit, and gumption. The latest recruit to Black Mountain faces the ultimate fight for survival, where no one can hear you scream.

The Future Is… #3 continues the “origin” of the team in an entertaining issue

Eli Nilsson lives as a virtual refuge, seemingly protected from his mother’s criminal empire. He thinks his safety bubble keeps the danger out, but the truth is–? Eli is the danger. Eli’s a prodigy of destruction, a master of vulnerabilities who can bring down any system with a whisper of code. Wheeler knows what Eli’s capable of and needs his unique, deadly skill. Wheeler also knows Eli is under threat, and it’s the only danger he will never see coming.

The Future Is… #1 has an entertaining story and interesting concept but doesn’t quite nail it

THE HACKER WARS ARE OVER. THE BLACK HATS WON. WHO WILL SAVE US FROM THE WORLD THAT’S COMING? BLACK MOUNTAIN—a rogue band of digital ronin, freebooters, and hackers—fight against a world ruled by data barons, artificial overlords, and technological terrorists. Each operative is paired with a sprite, an AI partner as unpredictable as the human it serves. At the center is WHEELER, a former black hat hacker dragged back into a war he thought he escaped. His team includes: MARTINA DE LEÓN – An Olympic-level infiltrator who operates in the real world. SALLY CHU – A hardware engineer fresh from nine years living in orbit. ELI NILSSON – A system vulnerabilities expert trapped between reality and augmented reality. ART & ARF – A machine intelligence obsessed with human creativity—and the dog it’s bound to. Their mission: stop JASON ROANOKE. A self-proclaimed visionary, Roanoke once controlled the world’s supply chains, private armies, and the lives of those who exist under his authority. He now rules from Tranquility Base, a lunar fortress beyond government reach. Roanoke is the first corporate king of space—and the future itself is his to shape unless Black Mountain stop him. This is THE FUTURE IS , a 60-issue cyber-sci-fi epic fusing the shadow warfare of Mr. Robot, the kinetic action of The Matrix, and the thrilling espionage of Ghost in the Shell.
