Black Mask Studios has announced that Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail is bringing his acclaimed series to comic books with a new title which will serve as a prequel to season one of the show.
The comic book series has been developed by Esmail and show writer Jeff McKibben, with support from Black Mask’s Matteo Pizzolo (Calexit), art by illustrator Antonio Fuso (Survival Fetish) and colorist Tyler Boss (4 Kids Walk Into A Bank).
Mr. Robot marks the first time creator-owned comics publisher Black Mask has stepped into the world of adapting characters from other media for comics. With both the show and the publisher’s subversive points of view and creator-driven approaches, Mr. Robot is a uniquely perfect fit for creative partnership.
San Diego Comic Con will host the Mr. Robot: Hacking Comics panel on Thursday July 19th from 1pm-2pm in Room 28DE, where McKibben and Pizzolo will be joined by other special guests for a conversation about expanding the singular world of Mr. Robot into comics.
