    by Chris Rowley and Justin Norman. Jump ahead 20-30 years. The Cube has virtually complete control over all software in the world. The Internet pervades all aspects of life, from running electricity to running your toaster. CEO Maxwell Minsky has a new incredibly powerful platform about to be launched that can grow organically with your needs, but that will know absolutely everything about you. Turner, part of an underground of hackers, still believes in freeware, and ID had his memory wiped out. As Turner and his group help him regain some of his memory, he realizes he was prominent at the Cube and what he was designing was incredibly dangerous. Already, random acts of sudden destruction are being recorded worldwide. Yet, strangely, someone keeps sending a female cyborg to ID's rescue... A fascinating world that could very well be our own. See if anything can be done to prevent it! 24 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

    by Justin Norman & Chris Rowley. ID, the software designer and security engineer who got his memory wiped, is on the run from Cube goons who need him dead along with underground freeware rebel and hacker Turner with the help of female cyborg warrior Devorah who seems to pop up miraculously when needed. The new Cube system software Cronus looks to have become a force on its own by marrying itself with a cryogenic software that has imbibed the personalities of prominent leaders resulting in split personalities facing each other off in cyberspace! Cube CEO Maxwell himself has no idea what he's up against until it's too late! Only ID can stop Cube from dangerously overstepping its all-too-awesome power by retrieving the renegade program one way or another. Action with a brain! 24 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.
