PORTLAND, Ore. 09/18/2025 — The pitch-black, tech-horror hit W0RDLDTR33—by Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (The Department of Truth, Exquisite Corpses) and superstar artist Fernando Blanco (Detective Comics, Catwoman) with colors by Jordie Bellaire (Assorted Crisis Events) and letters by Aditya Bidikar (The One Hand/The Six Fingers)—boots up a brand new story arc this December from Image Comics. In W0RLDTR33 #17, the stakes go full root access, the apocalypse is uploading fast, and time’s running out to kill the signal.

Back in the now, Ellison and the last standing members of the W0RLDTR33 crew scramble to hack the clock and stop Angel from rebooting the internet—and unleashing the end of the world. The endgame? San Francisco. Every path pings back to the source. Every path leads to the Undernet.

“Longtime readers of W0RLDTR33 have been following the story as it branches out through the past, present day, and Fernando and Jordie’s singularly chilling vision of the future,” said Tynion IV. “With this new arc, which is going to build toward a major milestone for the series, those threads are going to begin to intertwine with potentially world-ending consequences. After all, even Gabriel Winter can’t plan for everything.”

W0RLDTR33 #17 by James Tynion IV and Fernando Blanco will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, December 17: Cover A by Fernando Blanco Cover B 1:10 copy incentive by Daniel Acuña Cover C 1:25 copy incentive by Nathan Fox The W0RLDTR33 series follows Gabriel, Amanda, Liam, Yoshi, and Darren who discovered what they dubbed the Undernet—a secret architecture beneath the internet. They charted their exploration of the Undernet on a private message board called W0RLDTR33. Then they lost control. And unleashed unimaginable horrors.
