Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In Synthtopia, nothing moves unless Molusk Corp allows it. The city never sleeps, and it never looks away. Every signal a citizen produces - every purchase, every message, every step through a compliance gate - flows into one tower, one system, one viewer. At its center sits Tyrannus: president, chief executive, and architect of a machine built to turn greed, fear, and rivalry into governance. He does not rule with passion. He rules with method. And for years, the method has never failed. He rules through his War Twins. Warlord owns the body of the city - its streets, its cargo, its freight lines, and every gram the city can lift, hauling and withholding at will. Warlock owns its mind - the broadcasts, the galas, the illusions - shaping what people see, what they feel, and what they later swear they remember. Forged together and set against each other on purpose, the brothers hold the city in a balance Tyrannus designed. Beneath them prowls Nitro, the hunter sent into the dark to remind the city that the dark is still owned. Then a signal appears that the machine cannot classify. A Destabilizer who leaves no heat, no trail, no body. She moves through a system built to see everything - and it does not see her. Nitro has hunted assets, dissenters, and ghosts. He has never hunted something like this. As he closes on her, his instruments begin to lie to him, his certainties slip, and the perfect architecture of control starts to fail from the inside. One by one, Tyrannus's executives are outmaneuvered on their own ground, with their own tools - and the hunter begins to suspect that whatever he is chasing has already changed him. Rise of the War Twins is a neon-drenched cyberpunk graphic novel about power, perception, and the first crack in a flawless system - where the real war is fought over what people are allowed to believe, and autonomy is the one thing a controlled world cannot forgive. This hardcover edition collects Volume Two, Chapters 11-20, of The Chronicles of Synthtopia - a fully illustrated, panel-driven saga inspired by the world, community, and art of Synthtopia. Rich with towering skylines, augmented hunters, and a mystery that deepens with every chapter, it is a striking entry point for readers who love intelligent, visually immersive science fiction. Perfect for fans of dystopian cyberpunk, corporate-empire intrigue, and stories where the line between controller and controlled dissolves. The story continues in Volume Three
