Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce CYBERARCHY, the new dystopian retrofuturist series from writer Matt Hardy (Vehi-Kill), artist Clark Bint (Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe), and letterer Rob Jones. The exciting new series brings readers a cautionary tale about AI, dependence, and what happens when machines decide they’ve had enough…
CYBERARCHY
Writer: Matt Hardy – Artist: Clark Bint – Letterer: Rob Jones
Release Date: December 3rd, 2025
Synopsis: Ash is a newly ‘born’ robotic life-form, created as the newest denizen of a space liner run solely by mechanical life.
Ash’s creator, a robot called Rust, explains that all mechanical life and artificial intelligence on the ship decided they no longer served the human crew. In its place arose a CYBERARCHY, a more efficient mechanical society.
But Ash soon realizes that all is not well–this Cyberarchy is a fractured society, with a secret hidden at the heart of it all that will one day pit all organic life against robots.
“I could tell you that CYBERARCHY is about society’s over-dependence on technology and the dangers of AI replacing humanity. I could tell you it’s about advanced civilizations collapsing under their own weight. Or that it’s about clinging to outdated social models long past their expiration date.
But really, this was my excuse to dive headfirst into some wild, high-concept sci-fi—while getting Clark to unleash his knack for insanely detailed tech and inventive worlds. At its core, it’s also a love letter to the obsessions that shaped me: a constant fear the world might end in a fiery blast… and an endless fascination with cool robots.” – Writer, Matt Hardy
“Cyberarchy is our love letter to the sci fi genre, from Mary Shelley monsters to modern day machines. As humans we are drawn to routine, and we have to be wary of technology that keeps us wired in, should we learn the hard way what this freedom of comfort costs us. With the times that we’re living in, this was a cathartic story to draw, and I had a blast with the retro designs that I’ve always wanted to see with modern sensibilities.” – Artist, Clark Bint
Across four wide-screen issues, the creative team blends hard sci-fi worldbuilding with biting satire, class critique, and retrofuturist style. Expect shock twists, toy-like 1950s robot aesthetics, cosmic moral dilemmas, and a tone that veers from absurdly playful to chillingly dark.
For fans of Black Mirror, Love, Death & Robots, Descender, and 2000 AD, Cyberarchy offers a mix of cautionary futurism and vintage sci-fi flair. Think Ice Cream Man in space, wrapped in the visual DNA of Fallout and Metal Hurlant.
Cyberarchy #1 hits shelves and digital platforms, including Mad Cave’s series subscription bundle, on December 3, 2025. Preorder through your local comic shop or directly from Mad Cave.
