Virtex

In 1998 and 1999, Oktomica published the four-issue series Virtex, a cyberpunk-flavored creation from writer Casey Lau and artist Kano. The story drops readers into a near-future Hong Kong where a new technology, the Virtex, blurs the line between the digital and the real. This short but punchy run captures a moment when comics were exploring the anxieties and thrills of an increasingly connected world, with Kano’s sleek, kinetic art bringing Lau’s high-concept vision to life. It’s a compact, atmospheric gem for fans of late-90s indie sci-fi.
