Encoded

In the 2021 miniseries Encoded, writer and artist Phil Hester crafts a taut, self-contained tale for Devil's Due / 1First Comics. Over three issues, the story explores the consequences of a mysterious digital transmission that rewrites the very code of human biology. Hester's signature, kinetic linework drives this science-fiction thriller, making it a concise, creator-driven gem from a respected indie veteran.
