Description
FULL VIEW IS LARGE.Okay so this started as a random train of thought last summer when I was reading up on the online collective Anonymous. I was also reading a lot of science fiction back then and this kind of spiralled off from there.
I find the theory behind Anonymous to be a very interesting one and I think it's even more fascinating that it works, in its' own way.
That being said, this comic is purposefully vague. There are several different ways to interpret it, and if it's not crystal clear in its' message, then that is because there is none. Well almost. I guess the only thing this comic has the balls to really say is that, however many (hundreds?) of years later, Anonymous is still around.
Let me know what you think.
Done in Photoshop.

Is this Anonymous gaining a type of AI intelligence through consensus and doing away with the humans? Or is it an example of the earlier form of Troll Anonymous doing away with it's growing Activist conscious? ... or is it vice versa.
Even if its not either it was still a VERY interesting.

All of those are possible. I'd say the "vice versa" would be the one that jumps to my mind first.
As far as the characters are concerned, they're both convinced they're in the right, and that they've got it figured out. Just cause one ends up being more powerful though, doesn't mean he's necessarily correct.

Thanks, that's what I was going for!

This is fucking excellent. I do wish I had some back story, because well, the tables on who's is who got flipped. Is the haired guy a "shepherd" or is he a rogue Anon member?

That's up to you to decide.
Alternatively, they could also both be (active) Anons.

This goes rather well with the Jet Set Radio soundtrack.

ok, we need a back story AND a series this is too damn cool to pass up as a franchise start up a kick starter or something your art style and atmosphere are fucking sublime dude

Haha, thanks. But I'm done with this concept. I'll be working on another, large scale project of my own though. It'll be a couple of years in the works, and there's a good chance I might get a kickstarter going for that.
More as it progresses!

Wait, the roles in my mind are switched. Isn't that one guy sopposed to be anonoymous, not the 'corprate' guy? I mean, the 'Pour' guy said "not mater how much money is in your account, no mater how much influence you may hold, nothing you say will have any effect on me." Thats kind of anonymous sounding line. Plus, what the hell does that flock metaphore mean? its so, fucking confusing bro. Short, sweet reply please.

But its also obvious that the Anon member has a straight face, and becomes the logo

Buuuut being anon does not mean he LOOKs like anon, they must ACT like Anon. The "poor" guy should be the anon.

Hahahahaha!
They both think they are Anonymous.

THAN WHICH IS THE REAL ANONYMOUS?!

The guy with the suit is obviously Anonymous

I dont know how great Anon actually is, at the beginning I was all like "awesome, they're activist who wear guy fawkes masks" and stuff, but later when I found out they actually were the /b/tards using DoS attacks sort of lost its magic.
The comic though is amazing!

I found my own message in this, I truely thing we need more things like this because alot of concepts are becoming the same in the entertainment world.

I think i read somewhere a big comic writer Warren Ellis is touching on the internet activism in an up and coming trade paperback.

Wouldn't surprise me. The topic definitely lends itsself to all sorts of speculation.

Der Comic is ma richtig geil. Vom Stil und Technik her.
Von der Story bin ich mir aber nicht sicher ob ich ihn verstehe. Also Anonymous ist vor Gericht, doch dann β what a twist! Das ist gar nicht Anon, jetzt in der Zukunft hat er sich zum Establishment weiterentwickelt, das wiederrum neue Rebellen bekΓ€mpft. Quasi Meta-Anon? Aber warum genau wird der angeklagt? Weil er den Grund vergessen hat, warum er kΓ€mpft? HΓ€?
Also der Comic ist cool, auch wenn (oder gerade weil?) er sich mir nicht ganz erschliesst.

Der Typ im Anzug verurteilt den Gefangenen dafΓΌr, dass dieser sich im Namen von Anonymous fΓΌr eine Sache einsetzt, die ΓΌberhaupt nichts mit Anonymous zu tun hat. Aber diese Aussage an sich is ja schon fragwΓΌrdig genug, wer is der Typ im Anzug dass er diese Entscheidung ΓΌberhaupt fΓ€llen darf?
Dass das Ganze etwas schwammig ist ist schon Absicht - diese ganze Mehrdeutigkeit spiegelt meiner Meinung nach das Konzept von Anonymous selbst wieder. Im Endeffekt bleibt es dem Leser ΓΌberlassen, welche SchlΓΌsse er daraus zieht.

Oh man you have a way with protraying movement and style in images. I can see this animating in my head completely. That's really a hard skill to attain, this is really beautifully thought out...

Have you read about Anonymous really being the CIA running false flag operations? I've glanced through a few articles tackling this a while ago...
Great comic, very intriguing, and your colors are delicious.
