“In Cyber League Baseball, the players have surpassed human athleticism with the addition of robotic augmentations to their bodies. Asher, however, doesn’t think it’s worth the cost to cut up his body just to win baseball. Instead, he rallies a team of Natural players to take on the Cyber League and prove that true athleticism can’t be replaced by machines.”
Cyber League sees a baseball league made up of cyborgs,as Asher and his ragtag team of humans, the Naturals, try to win the championship. Writer, artist, colourist, letterer, Anderson Carman’s Cyber League SDCC ashcan is its print debut, with covers by Daniel Warren Johnson and MANIX of Kikomachine Komix. It will also be available in a limited Trade Dress Free Foil Edition
“I didn’t actually mean for it to be an anti-AI book, because AI wasn’t even in the conversation when I started writing this. That’s not the thesis of the book, but it’s kind of underneath the surface… A very early setup is that it’s very apparent that the augments aren’t good for you, but people use them anyway.I think there is more nuance in real-world conversations, but I think in fictional narratives, for the sake of the reader, it’s helpful to paint things in black and white” says Anderson Carman.
247 Comics will be at the Tokyopop booth 1837 at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 for those who want to check out a copy…
