Back in June, Hacktivist was revealed as an upcoming graphic book from Archaia. The news came out during the summertime convention season with a star connected as well as a preview ashcan released. Alyssa Milano obviously came up with the concept or motivation or something — the actual innovative team was writers Jackson Lanzing as well as Collin Kelly as well as artist Marcus To. The plot was referred to as a “fast-paced cyber-thriller” about two people who discovered a social network business however are secretly hackers working for social justice. (The preview pages at that link show exactly how tough it is to make utilizing a computer visually interesting.)
The original plan was for the book to debut digitally before being printed as a graphic book next year, however then Boom! obtained Archaia. Now, they’ve revealed that the material will be released as a four-issue restricted series, starting on January 22 at a $3.99 cover price.
The original press release was successful in getting interest from unusual sources — including an interview at Forbes.com (with some fascinating figures on women, digital media, as well as viral marketing) as well as some griping about her attempt to trademark “hacktivist”. I suspect this re-do won’t get rather as much coverage, especially considering that we’re far out of convention season. On the other hand, serializing at this point indicates there’s still time to draw out a collection by summertime 2014, the original publication date. Plus, considering that Boom! as well as Archaia titles are offered on comiXology, it will likely still be offered digitally.
