"One of the final projects of the legendary Stan Lee and beautifully illustrated by Spider-Man veteran Andie Tong. Stan Lee's Backchannel centers on Tom Tanner and his father, Martin. On the surface, Tom is having an average high school life - struggling to stay on the lacrosse team, hiding his affections for his friend Sally, and trying to keep his head down and grades up. What the people around him don't know is that Tom is an engineering prodigy who has been developing a highly sophisticated A.I. algorithm which awakens a power within him. While initially using this newfound power for personal gain and petty revenge, he learns of a dark secret from his father's past that will change him forever. Along the way BACKCHANNEL, a decentralized hacktivist group causing havoc at prisons across the country, reaches out to Tom for help, setting him on a very dangerous path at an already dangerous time" -- Back cover.
