It's 2024, and the internet is only for porn after the world is mass-doxxed. Every email, photo, and document ever sent rains down out of the cloud, and only a fool would send a secret over the web. This is the era of the "Paper Jockeys:" armed couriers with a briefcase of secrets that will get your sensitive information around the globe or die trying. Human punching-bag Jack McGinnis and his partner Oona are two of the best couriers in the business. For a price, they'll move your sensitive information where it needs to go as they fight off fascists, criminals, and spies.… (más)

This one is a little bit of .... strange. It is future. there was a huge break-down of social media that caused people to separate themselves from the phones, smart devices etc although as far as I can see networked and autonomous vehicles, communication and infrastructure exists, AIs exists and cyber-enhanced bodies and persons also roam the streets. But this world is marked also by constant society turmoil, lack of food and constant riots.

Our main protagonist is ... troublemaker to say the least. He worked in the secret services but beneath his demeanor he is anarchist without cause. He is willing to break down everything (there are hints of his involvement in this critical breakdown of always-online society) because of his personal sense of justice - self righteous anger of a man that is for all means and purposes angry on everyone around him. In this brave new world (which he does not like with the same passion as he did not like the previous one) our hero is working as a ledger man, analog (as in non digital) courier of confidential documents for shadowy clientele. So when he gets contacted by government requesting opportunity to check the material before it reaches the destination our hero soon finds himself in quite a bad situation.

Story is written as action-comedy adventure (father/son scenes are hilarious). We follow our hero, genuine wise-cracker as he tries playing all the parties involved. What ruined a story for me a bit is this self righteousness that does resonate with our times but it is not aimed at anything and remains only goal-less anarchism. Our hero shook the foundation of the world but remains same bitter person who does not find anything noble in the new world he helped create.

Art is good, cartoonish to a degree but it worked for me. If you enjoy art of likes of Black Science you will enjoy this one too.

Good story, recommended to all fans of SF, thriller, noir story. I liked the twist and low-tech approach now required to trade in secrets. Hopefully in future issues they will give our protagonists more focused approach to life and events in the world. ( )
