A timely, biting satire with a pop-punk edge, Exploit has a lot to say about the state of the American tech oligarchy and the rise of global fascism.

Don't bury the lede. Bury your enemies.

Kirby Kuo might be late to her true purpose in life—but no one would call the 30-something journalist intern out of time. After all, it's Kirby who uncovers a conspiracy surrounding Cole Saxon, a billionaire tech industrialist who, it turns out, is also really good at treason.

But when a shocking act of violence brings vengeance to Kirby's door, it'll be up to this budding writer, her agoraphobic roommate, Lennox, and the staff of the defunct magazine RIOT! to bring truth to light... and the powerful to justice.

About the Author

Tim Leong is the award-winning author of Marvel Super Graphic, Star Wars Super Graphic and Super Graphic: A Visual Guide to the Comic Book Universe, which was Amazon’s No. 1 Art and Design book of 2013 and the No. 59 best book overall that year. He is the former Creative Director and Deputy Editor at Entertainment Weekly magazine, and before that he worked for Wired, Fortune, and Complex and ran his own Eisner-nominated comics magazine. He grew up in the Midwest reading comic books and playing with action figures. He now lives in Los Angeles, where he still reads comic books and plays with action figures with his kids.

Former senior editor at WIRED, former culture editor at The Verge, former editor-in-chief of ComicsAlliance. My work has also appeared in The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, FiveThirtyEight, TIME, Vulture, and The LA Times. I've also written for video games but none I'm allowed to talk about right now.

Born in 1989, after a degree in history, Emiliana decided to dedicate herself to comics starting from professional courses (until 2016) to first become an assistant inker for some faces of Italian comics, then he founded the self-produced Acid Free Lab with some colleagues which still accompanies it with some of the titles published such as Daltonica and Parafilie. For the American market she began working for private individuals and Kickstarters until the publication (still in progress) of the series “How I Slept My Way Through College” published by Charlie Stickney for White Ash Comics, while she also began publishing with Dynamite Comics (2021) starting from some episodes of Red Sonja and Vampirella and arriving at a 6-issue mini series on Dejah Thoris (2023).

Rebecca Good is a comic artist and comic book colorist. Freelancing since 2013, Rebecca has worked on a large range of series, notably, Power Rangers: Across the Morphin Grid, Tales Through Time: The Old Guard with Image Comics, and the Pulitzer Prize winning non-fiction comic “How I Escape a Chinese Internment Camp” with Insider.com. Creating mood and narrative through color is her passion and specialty. When she’s not drawing or coloring, she enjoys petting her cat Vivian, and watching cartoons with husband Tom.

Frank Cvetkovic is a comic book letterer who hates when people assume that all he does is put words inside bubbles. There’s a little more to the job than that. For instance, sometimes he puts them in boxes. His work can be seen in Hey Mary!, Toxic Summer, and Gatchaman: Galactor.
