📘About the Comic
I'm excited to introduce Hype Force – The Phantom Train Heist, the debut comic in the Sneakerbots™ universe—a fresh, stylized series that blends streetwear energy with animation-inspired storytelling. The plot follows three standout characters: Glam, an OG sneakerhead catching Ls on the SNKRS app; Boxer, a stylish, hoverboard-riding risk-taker with effortless drip; and Alexandria-Ryan, the first of her kind anti-bot—an intelligent, self-aware system built to fight against the same unfair algorithms that flood sneaker drops.
With a mysterious past and unmatched hacking skills, she’s both the brain and backbone of the team. Together, they race to stop a runaway train loaded with hype grails, fakes, bots, and secrets that could break the sneaker game for good—all while being hunted by their ruthless nemesis, Blaise, a former collector-turned-villain who believes hype is meant to be hoarded, not shared.
