With the latest material from 'The Daily Grind', we see a marked rise in awareness of what's happening in the city.

Work on Chapter Two is progressing to schedule... The story and art is coming together nicely, and Jackwraith & I are looking forward to sharing - Two weeks and counting!

The free weekly webcomic updates on Monday. Dystopia offers unique takes on storytelling through genre-spanning arcs set in a richly imagined, multi-layered world. Across its towering levels and shadowed undercity, you’ll encounter cyberpunk conspiracies, gangland rivalries, corporate cults, digital ghosts, and the quiet struggles of those trying to survive between the cracks. With each story, Dystopia invites you deeper—into a world that feels both impossible and eerily familiar. The world expands as you read, revealing patterns, echoes, and secrets hiding just beneath the surface. It’s an evolving experience that rewards curiosity.
