Who wants to be a cyborg?

[superboyprime]

Mek was a mini-series written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Steve Rolston. It explores the world of body modification fads, with a science-fiction twist.



"Elective cyborging has become an underground subculture in the mode of piercing, branding or tattooing today. The technology used to effect this is called, simply, MEK. Metal fetishism. These aren't your clean-lined cyborgs of videogames and the Six Million Dollar Man. These are weird, spiky, buzzing, sexy, scary, transgressive people. Like any youth culture in its early iteration, it's kind of unsettling...

It began in LA. And deep in the Mek area of LA, RJ COIN, one of the original Mek developers, is shot to death..."









Many years later:

Sarissa returns to Sky Road after ex-boyfriend RJ is murdered there. She wants to get to the bottom of his death.















The police chief tells her that the man behind the killing is Ghost Eddie, a biomechanic who helped Sarissa found the movement.



She kills the guy.
