Reintroducing the cult-classic action heroine best known for her animated adventures on MTV, this series will pave the way for her big-screen debut in this fall's blockbuster, live- action adaptation starring Charlize Theron. This four-issue miniseries will lay the foundation for events in the film, with all of the fast-paced action and intriguing conceptual sci-fi of the original cartoon.
The story is set 400 years in the future in the walled city-state of Bregna, which shelters the remnants of humanity from a deadly jungle outside. While Bregna appears to be a utopia, it's maintained through mood-altering propaganda. A group of freedom fighters, skeptical of the government's control, enlists the help of their top secret agent, Æon Flux, to challenge the status quo. Æon is tasked with sabotaging the Bregnan government's plan to destroy the forest beyond the city's walls, setting the stage for a conflict between the oppressive regime and those seeking change. The final panels has Aeon teaming up with an unknown heroine. Cant wait to read issue 2 to learn more about this mysterious protagonist. Also haven't seen Aeon flux in a team environment; so should be good!
