About the Author
Benjamin Hunting (Writer): Benjamin Hunting is a freelance writer and comic creator who spent his formative years performing under the hypersaturated strobe lights of a booming rave stage. Benjamin said, "I wanted to tell a story about the mental health burden so many of us face, infuse it with the energy of the early-2000s electronic music scene, and challenge the idea of a shared, objective reality in the vein of Cronenberg and Dick."

Joe Ng (Artist): Joe Ng has been the artist for franchises as diverse as Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Street Fighter, while also tackling video game properties such as Soulcalibur, Dark Stalkers, and Overwatch. Joe said, "I'd been itching to do something in my own style. This was the first time in my career where I had the challenge of building a living, breathing visual world for my own characters to inhabit."
