STAN LEES BACKCHANNEL TP VOL 01

Description

One of the final projects of the legendary Stan Lee and beautifully illustrated by Spider-Man veteran Andie Tong, Backchannel centers on Tom Tanner and his father, Martin. On the surface, Tom Tanner leads an average high school life-struggling to stay on the lacrosse team, hiding his affections for his friend Sally, and trying to keep his head down and grades up. What his father, an LA police detective, doen't know is that Tom is an engineering prodigy and is being recruited by BACKCHANNEL, a decentralized hactivist group causing havoc at prisons across the U.S. While developing a highly sophisticated AI algorithm, a power awakens within Tom that grants him the ability to mentally hack into any device (technopathy). While initially using this newfound power for personal gain and petty revenge, he learns of a dark secret from his father's past that will change him forever. When he discovers that the hacktivist group BACKCHANNEL has been tracking him and is aware of his new abilities and reaching out to him for help, Tom is set on a very dangerous path.
