Mindhunter meets meme culture in this bizarre neo cyber-noir graphic novel thriller from Eliot Rahal, Stefano Simeone, and Mad Cave Studios.

A teenage sociopath, Paul Kozac, has accidentally created an internet cult called The Hot Dog Party. When a prank turns deadly, the F.B.I. sends in an undercover agent, Cara Cole, to investigate and infiltrate their ranks.

Now Cara battles against real stakes, fake news, and memes in a character-driven story about power structures and the communities you build. This is a story about "Click to follow" cultism during the age of social media.

Under The Influence Vol. 1 collects issues 1-5.
