BLÜDWIRE
Coming This Summer From Mad Cave Studios, Two Runaway Sex Bots Fight For Freedom In A Sci-Fi Thriller
Love is love. Liberation is violent.
Mad Cave Studios is thrilled to announce BLÜDWIRE, a tender love story surrounded by a hail of bullets.
Launching this summer, the five-issue series unites critically acclaimed writer Paul Allor (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Guardians of the Galaxy) with artist Ermitis Blanco (The Crying Boy) and colorist Brittany Peer (Fantastic Four, Scarlet Witch), with lettering by Allor and Cover A by Victor Ibáñez, Cover B by Mirka Andolfo, and an exclusive Pride Variant by Rachael Stott. Together, the team delivers a breakneck tale that blends explosive sci-fi thrills with a provocative exploration of identity, agency, and survival, as every confrontation and every mile gained on the road to freedom.
Ace and Zora were built for men’s pleasure. Now they’re building a life of their own, one bullet at a time.
When sex bot Ace mounts a dangerous rescue mission, she isn’t starting a revolution. She’s trying to save the woman she loves. But Ace and Zora are valuable property, and a corporate kill squad is hot on their trail.
Bullets fly. Metal screams. Rivers run red with blood and coolant.
Writer Paul Allor shared, “This is a story I’ve carried in my head for at least a decade, long enough for it to simmer into something more poignant and poisonous than my original conception. We’ve all seen the very real harm of a society that increasingly treats ordinary people as commodities for the ultra-rich and absurdly powerful; a society that measures women, in particular, solely by their usefulness to the men who run everything—So, I took my iridescent rage at that and sharpened it into a five-issue weapon: a story of two sex-bots in love, kissing and groping and killing their way across the countryside.”
Artist Ermitis Blanco added, “I remember the first thing I told Paul after reading the script: it’s like a cyberpunk Thelma and Louise, as complex, sharp, and fragmented as we all are today, but grounded in the idea that love and speed might be the only things that determine whether you survive. It’s also the script with the most action scenes I’ve ever read, hahaha—though I never actually told Paul that. The emotions move at the same speed as bullets and electric shocks, and I wanted the story to carry the rhythm of an animated series, something intense in both the drawing and the narration. Along the way, without even realizing it, my style evolved alongside the characters. The growth was mutual, and I hope readers feel some of that evolution, too.”
“Blüdwire feels relevant now more than ever,” said Colorist Brittany Peer. “Its creative team has a perspective and a passion for inclusivity and diversity. Also, robot girlies? Always iconic!”
At its heart, Blüdwire is a love story that refuses to be programmed.
Blending the kinetic chaos of Mad Max: Fury Road with the rebellious spirit of stories like Bitch Planet and Saga, the series delivers a relentless sci-fi chase grounded in emotional intimacy and moral conviction. Brutal and tender in equal measure, Blüdwire explores autonomy in a world built on control, and the power of choosing love anyway.
