IXTH GENERATION (2015)

"In the future there is no more natural death, no needs unfilled and everything you could ever want is yours as long as you're one of the ones chosen to live in this new Utopia and you're willing to subjugate yourself to these new self-proclaimed gods with 'IX's emblazoned on them. Do the ends truly justify the means? Is a utopia built on genocide worth the price? Aphrodite, Velocity, Hades, and the other Nines establish fiefdoms in this new world and attempt to rule. Their internal clashes have escalated, but they are forced to put that aside as they face off against the relentless hordes of the Darkness. The sins of the past have come to claim those who would pretend to be Gods. The cybernetic future established in APHRODITE IX and CYBER FORCE finally comes face-to-face with the supernatural ARTIFACTS side of the Top Cow universe!"

"Aphrodite IX has the Witchblade and several other Artifacts have also appeared, destroying the delicately balanced utopia. Who is wielding the Darkness and why is it so hellbent on killing all of the IXs?"

"The Darkness returns!"

"The return of Hope? The Darkness claims its prize. How do you kill an immortal? Aphrodite IX finds a way."

"NEW STORY ARC The first issue of the second arc kicks off with a lot of people dying. Who lives, who dies? Does Aphrodite reluctantly force her vision on the survivors?"

"To be announced."

"The nine are down to five. Who lives, who dies? The battle for total rule reaches its penultimate chapter. "

"The final issue of the IX's hits in this oversized story. Will the future come to an end?"
