Introducing an X-files for the age of transhuman technology!Four years ago, a U.S. government supercomputer triggered the Singularity—a sudden and historic explosion of technological advancement beyond imagination and control. Artificial intelligence became superintelligence.At least, it almost did. Within picoseconds, fail-safes kicked in. The plug was pulled on a limitless new existence by a ruling class desperate to tighten the reins on human progress.But in that brief moment, angry seeds of a kneecapped new age were transmitted through cables, waves, and thousands of networks. Now, terrifying beings and inexplicable events dot the globe, ushering in a new revolution.Minotaur is the story of the future fighting back, the cynical photojournalist it’s targeted as its new prophet, the no-nonsense ex-military muscle who watches her six, and the reformed tech bro privately bankrolling their secret international mission to expose it all.Minotaur: The Cold Open is a Comics Giveaway Day exclusive introduction to the new mind-bending ongoing sci-fi series from Si Spurrier (Coda, The Flash, John Constantine: Hellblazer) and Mike Dowling (The Amazing Spider-Man, Unfollow), debuting July 2026!
