Ridley Scott’s ‘Modville’ graphic novel debuts during a tough time for comics. Can it survive?

The graphic novel “Modville,” a neo-noir story set in New Orleans in the year 2169, revolves around crime and artificial beings known as mods. This gripping tale was penned by Jesse Negron, with Joe Matsumoto as co-writer, and beautifully illustrated by Hendry Prasetya and Eko Puteh. The narrative delves into the complexities of father-daughter relationships, morality, and what it means to be human. Unlike many contemporary comics that rehash superhero narratives, “Modville” offers an innovative concept. Instead of being published by a major company like Diamond or Penguin Random House, this series will be made available directly to consumers. It will debut as a prestige format (a 200-page hardcover rather than individual issues). Additionally, it will follow an unusual publishing schedule without the usual monthly pressures.
