RECKAH Publishing, an imprint of the cybersecurity company Black Hills Information Security (BHIS), has signed an exclusive direct market distribution deal with Lunar Distribution and will unveil its five-year publishing plan at the ComicsPRO meeting, which will take place on February 20-22, 2025, in Glendale, CA (see “ComicsPRO Annual Meeting”).

RECKAH will launch with the comic series The Future Is ******, a tech-driven crime story by writer Fred Van Lente, artist Ennio Bufi, and colorist Andrea Meloni. The comics will include interactive hacking challenges to allow readers to test their own skills. Cover artists will include Jae Lee, Mike Huddleston, Jim Mahfood, Rob Guillory, Nick Pitarra, Michael Allred.

RECKAH plans to publish 60 monthly issues of the series over the next five years, starting in May 2025. The project is helmed by BHIS Content Director Jason Blanchard, the former Public Relations Manager for Diamond Comic Distributors.

“Our goal is to make the reader feel like the hero of the story and empower them to understand the systems that run our world, because things are only fragile until they break," said John Strand, Owner of BHIS and Co-CCO of REKCAH, in a statement accompanying the announcement.

An original The Future Is ****** graphic novel was funded on Kickstarter in 2024, with 486 backers pledging a total of $72,563.
