Project Icarus

Project Icarus, a five-issue series from Blackbox Comics launched in 2020, reimagines the myth of Icarus through a modern, sci-fi lens. The story follows a young prodigy who builds a revolutionary wingsuit, only to find his invention co-opted by a shadowy government agency with dangerous ambitions. Written and illustrated by a team that blends sleek, kinetic art with a taut, character-driven narrative, the series explores themes of ambition, control, and the price of flight. It stands out as a sharp, self-contained thriller from an indie publisher known for polished, creator-owned work.
