    Jan 23 2026

Timestamps: 00:00:00 Opening Music 00:00:10 Intro 00:01:58 First Five Grimjack 00:38:15 The Future Is 01:32:50 CLZ Shake 01:36:01 Outros 01:36:43 Stinger How much has independent comics culture shaped your reading habits—and are you sleeping on character origins that defined the genre 40 years ago? This episode explores the gritty world of Grimjack—a mercenary navigating the multi-dimensional city of Cynosure—while diving deep into The Future Is, a modern cybersecurity heist series featuring a ragtag team of pentesters and hackers. Whether you're curious about '80s independent titles that influenced modern storytelling, or fascinated by the intersection of hacking culture and comics, this discussion reveals how both pulp action and cutting-edge tech narratives find their voice in sequential art. Discover why Grimjack's multi-dimensional setting and morally gray character archetype resonated with readers and why early First Comics publications remain culturally significant today. Understand how The Future Is translates modern cybersecurity concepts—penetration testing, threat actors, augmented reality, and digital vulnerabilities—into compelling narrative tension and character-driven conflict. Learn the difference between freebooters and hackers, what "doomscrolling" really means, and how the comic cleverly weaponizes tech jargon as world-building. Play now to hear two decades of comic history analyzed side-by-side with contemporary storytelling, and discover which independent titles deserve space on your pull list.
