It Only Takes A Spark: Cyberpunk Satirical OGN ‘No Future’ Live Now On Kickstarter

Magnetic Press has announced high-speed cyberpunk graphic novel No Future, live now on Kickstarter. The satirical book is touted as The Fifth Element meets Blade Runner and Brazil, by way of Idiocracy. 

Featuring a script by Corbeyran and art by Jef, the creative team behind A Bullet in the Head, this neo-noir graphic novel recaptures the energy and aesthetic of classic sci-fi masters with a modern flair.

When you think of the future, you think of flying cars, robot butlers, and universal freedom for everyone to do as they please, right? Not this future. The tipping point between Utopia and Dystopia is subjective and invisible. Civilization can’t help but blindly trample that line underfoot on a regular basis.  Far-left and far-right-leaning politics wrap completely around to the opposite ends of the spectrum, and the cycle of ideological struggle continues in a funhouse mirror reflection of itself.

“The last few years have felt like sci-fi come to life, and as challenging as it can be to navigate those turbulent streams, what better way to face it than action-satire,” said Magnetic Press Publisher Mike Kennedy. “No Future takes its cue from the best ’70s euro-sci-fi, with open nods to Bilal and Jodorowsky, and mixes it with the magic of 80s retro-sci-fi blockbusters like Blade Runner, Max Headroom, and every buddy cop film you can remember. The result is a mind-blowing thrill ride that we at Magnetic are proud to bring to America. The future Corbeyran and Jef present may seem distant, but you can certainly see it from here…”
