Ascend to full magical girl status with this first look at GODDESS MODE
Alexander Lu
On December 12th, DC Vertigo boots up Goddess Mode. This latest entry of their new "socially conscious" lineup of comics sees the award-winning game developer Zoë Quinn teaming up with veteran comics artist and Spider-Gwen co-creator Robbi Rodriguez as well as colorist Rico Renzi and letterer Simon Bowland to create a kick-ass Magical Girl Cyberpunk dystopia unlike any you've seen before. And now, courtesy of DC Comics, we have your first look at technological madness you're in store for in just a few short weeks.
Per DC:
In a near future where humanity's needs are provided for by a godlike A.I., it's one young woman's horrible job to perform tech support on it. But Cassandra's life changes forever when she discovers a hidden digital world beneath our own, one where a group of super-powered women are locked in a secret war—attempting to break free into reality. This is more than a story about asskicking, cyber Magic Girls—it's a story about a finding hope in the dark.
Last month as part of our coverage on DC Vertigo's newest lineup, we had a chance to speak to Quinn about her goals for Goddess Mode, her first comic. In her words:
I've loved comics forever and I've always wanted to make one, but figured that meant I'd have to go the fully indie webcomic route and couldn't do this book for a few more years worth of improving my drawing, so I'm thrilled that I lucked out with DC Vertigo giving me the chance to do this wild and visually dense character-driven story I've wanted to tell for years but didn't think I'd get the chance [to] for many more.
