Top Cow is pleased to announce a double-sized crossover event unlike any before! Coming July 16, APHRODITE IX/CYBER FORCE #1, written by Matt Hawkins and with art by Stjepan Šejić, will begin a crossover spin-off series that fans won’t want to miss.
Two teams, seven centuries apart, united by one woman’s diabolical plan. The Chairwoman from CYBER FORCE and APHRODITE IX had a plan to recreate the world in her children’s image. Things didn’t go as planned. Featuring the present day team of Cyber Force and the 28th century Aphrodite IX, this story lays the origins of the new comic series IXTH GENERATION, launching in 2015.
“When Marc Silvestri and I sat down to talk Cyber Force two years ago we were building up to this eventual connection between Aphrodite IX and Cyber Force,” said Hawkins. “This book is a self-contained oversized one shot that will explain who all these characters are and their importance to each other and to the Artifacts side of the universe as well. We’re not looking to overburden it with continuity, just show tangentially how they relate.”
APHRODITE IX/CYBER FORCE #1 arrives in stores on 7/16. It will be 48 pages and available for $5.99. Cover A can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAY140582 and Cover B can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAY140583. A variant cover featuring art by Marc Silvestri can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAY140584.
Or in the words of Top Cow itself (said it before, saying it again, yes a top cow can speak)
It’s finally here – a crossover centuries in the making – Aphrodite IX/Cyber Force #1.
With world-bridging art from Stjepan Sejic, penned by Top Cow master writer Matt Hawkins, this time-crunching oneshot answers the questions that both series’ have been building up to since their debut issues. Where will the Aphrodite Protocol lead? Why did Aphrodite IX lose her memory? And just what exactly is coming next? Find out this and more in the crossover of the millennium – also includes a backup story written by 2014 Talent Hunt runner-up, Joey Cruz!
