Perfect for fans of Fallout and L.A. Noire, Modville #1 is a brand new neo-noir graphic novel series set in a futuristic New Orleans. Co-written by Joe Matsumoto, featuring art by Hendry Prasetya and Eko Puteh, with Ridley Scott (Alien, BladeRunner) bringing his own visual sense and world-building skills to the page.
Modville (2025) Issue #1 drops the same day as print on VeVe - limited edition, 124-pages, and fully readable, with collectible cover art by Bill Sienkiewicz.
Modville Synopsis:
The year is 2169 - the abandoned French quarter of New Orleans acts as a safe haven for the population of artificial humans known as MODS. In a world of crime and seemingly super-powered police ability, a nefarious darkness grows in the shadows of Modville.
Modville is a sci-fi/Southern Gothic crime drama involving AI humans (“MODS”) set in a futuristic New Orleans. Created by Jesse Negron with creative input from Ridley Scott, the comic touches on themes of father-daughter relationships, morality and humanity.
Modville Issue #1: Chapter 1
New Orleans, 2169. Home and last refuge for runaway MODS (slang for artificially intelligent humanoids). Here in the flooded French Quarter, they have set up an idyllic, tight-knit community where they can live freely... until MOD girls start to go missing, ritualistically murdered by one of their own.
With no police to keep them safe, their only hope is a spent shell casing of a human named Hawthorne and his estranged MOD daughter.

Upon entering the drop Waitlist, Collectors can opt to redeem Master Collector Program Points to bid on priority Waitlist selection for a collectible reservation. After a bid is placed, Collectors can increase their bid, and/or withdraw their bid up until the Waitlist closes.
At drop time, the highest bidders will be awarded a collectible reservation for the opportunity to complete their purchase using Gems at the Store price. At this point users MCP Points are deducted from their MCP points balance. If users decide not to make a purchase, their MCP Points WILL NOT be refunded.
If a Collector is NOT successful in securing a collectible reservation using Priority Bidding, their MCP Points WILL NOT be deducted. These Collectors are considered in the Waitlist entry pool and still have a chance to win the drop via normal Waitlist selection logic.
Note: Collectors will only be able to secure a single purchase per successful reservation. Additional collectibles can be purchased after the reservation period ends, if inventory is available.
