Marc Silvestri's CYBER FORCE Returns And First Five Issues Will Be Free!

Marc Silvestri is bringing back the title that helped launch his company Top Cow and was part of the early days of Image Comics...CYBER FORCE! The new series sees him as co-writer, art director and cover artist, with Top Cow President Matt Hawkins (THINK TANK, THE TEST) as co-writer and Khoi Pham (AVENGERS, DAREDEVIL) handling the interior art.

Added to the excitement is the first five issues will be free both digitally and in print! A Kickstarter campaign was launched on July 17 with a goal of $75,000 to make sure the five issues will be available for free by paying for print costs, and so forth. Among the goodies for pleges are: exclusive variant covers, a signed print, a hardcover edition of the collected first five issues, a smartphone case, original art, and one-on-one sessions with Matt Hawkins and Marc Silvestri. There are also several special rewards for comic book retailers who pledge — including exclusive signings by Marc Silvestri!

Silvestri describes CYBER FORCE as an exploration of the consequences when technology — the product of humanity's own intelligence — has interfered with the order of natural development. "We're creating a world our species can't survive in," Silvestri said. "The end is coming and Mega Corporation Cyber Data Industries knows this when it happens. And now, a young girl named Velocity knows too.”

"My obsession growing up was sci-fi and fantasy and the concept of Cyber Force has always been ripe for mining those genres," said Silvestri. "The best sci-fi has its soul anchored in social commentary and the human condition and then goes nuts with the concepts. Comic books are unique in that they can add to that the thrill of wish fulfillment," he added. "Mash those ideas together add a healthy dose of 21st century paranoia, and voila! You've got Cyber Force.”
