RISE, KRAKEN! A three-issue series coming in summer 2008 from Ape Entertainment: a full-colour comic that marries '70s-style global übercrime with '00s-brand global awareness.

University student Hannibal Carter thinks he's joined a student protest group. But when a rally spirals out of control, Hannibal discovers that some of his new friends aren't exactly who they claim to be -- and that the "good government agency against evil crime syndicate" line he's been fed from birth might be a steaming pile of hokum.

It's an ersatz look at life inside a global domination organization through the eyes of a new recruit -- moon lasers and global economics, radical environmentalism and atomic-powered giant robots, sea monsters and secret agents.

It's everything you want in an action comic, from the villain's point of view... but in a world where corporate interests and the invisible hand collude to crush independent thought and sovereign identities, has villainy become the only sane response?
