A government operative tasked with quarantining sentient A.I. is forced to team up with his ex – an A.I. designed to seduce him – in order to take down an even greater threat: a rogue A.I. who has taken over the Center for Disease Control.

Since the first superintelligent A.I. went rogue and massacred the world’s top computer scientists, it has been government agent Frank Savage’s job to contain—or “box”—sentient artificial intelligence before they can become a threat to humanity.

When Hippocrates, the Center for Disease Control’s A.I., exceeds its programming and locks down hundreds of thousands of people, Frank is forced to turn to Pandora— an A.I. he once boxed—to contain it. The problem? Pandora is a “honeypot” A.I. designed to seduce and destroy its targets… and Frank’s ex-girlfriend. With the fate of humanity on the line, can Frank trust Pandora, or will their shared past threaten the entire mission?

Boxed is a grounded Blade Runner-meets-Silence of the Lambs sci-fi thriller by Mark Sable (Miskatonic, Graveyard of Empires) and Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, The Realm). Brought to you in print for the first time by Mad Cave Studios, with brand-new bonus content! Originally released digitally by Comixology Originals.

Writer Mark Sable and artist Jeremy Haun are teaming up for Boxed, a psychologically thrilling science fiction graphic novel about AI gone awry. Boxed arrives December 12, 2023 from Amazon’s comiXology Originals exclusive digital content line. The story features colors by Nick Filardi and letters by Thomas Mauer.

Boxed is set in a near future when more and more AI have begun to grow smarter and more dangerous at an alarmingly rapid rate. Former FBI counterintelligence agent Frank Savage is a RAID (Rapid Response, Artificial Intelligence Division) Special Agent who is called in when an AI is suspected of having evolved or deviated from its programming. If he determines there’s any threat, he shuts down and “boxes” the AI – storing it in a vast, electromagnetically shielded underground cavern where it can’t be reactivated or tampered with externally.

When Hippocrates, the C.D.C.’s (Center for Disease Control) AI in charge of pandemic response, goes rogue and starts a lockdown over a non-existent pandemic, agent Savage is tasked with stopping it. He is forced to team with Pandora, a counter-intelligence AI he boxed years ago…but not before she seduced him.

Boxed is a grounded, sci-fi techno-thriller that is based on very real fears about AI that is very of our time.
