Minotaur The Cold Open CGD (2026)

Five years ago, a government supercomputer triggered the Singularity: an explosion of technological superintelligence heralding an unimaginable tomorrow. At least, it almost did. Within moments, a failsafe activated. The plug was pulled. The future was aborted. But something leaked in those first picoseconds, through wire and wave. And now? The future fights back. Inexplicable events. Miracles and monsters. Harbingers of revolution…or apocalypse? Minotaur is the tale of Gloria Monday, a photojournalist documenting the lives of those, like her, who are haunted, tortured, and transformed by outbreaks of the future; along with the no-nonsense ex-military muscle who watches her six, and the reformed tech bro secretly bankrolling their global mission to expose it all. From Simon Spurrier (The Flash, John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America) and Mike Dowling (The Amazing Spider-Man, Unfollow) comes Minotaur, an X-Files for the forward-looking era, with science-fiction ideas ripped from the pages of New Scientist, manifesting among human societies in spooky, unsettling ways.

Photojournalist Gloria Monday’s mission to investigate outbreaks of the future continues! An encounter unlocks clues about the “weretiger” terrorizing a local Indian population; and truth-seeking takes a personal turn when Monday’s search for answers about the Singularity event uncovers a life-changing (and possibly Earth-shattering) revelation. Meanwhile, money man Raf Romero proves he’s more than just the bankroller when he shares shreds of his origin story and fresh new intell. Government agents Koch and Bull’s scorched Earth pursuit of the team heats up, and all the new leads in the world won’t help Monday crack the case if this cat-and-mouse game continues.

The first mission of Gloria Monday’s truth-seeking world tour comes to its fiery conclusion! Interagency cooperation? This is how you know they know the future has leaked. CIA agent Koch and FBI agent Bull have Monday, Sara, and Pandu cornered. As both sides recover from the blast, Sara’s history with Agent Koch adds fuel to the flames, and Monday’s miraculous secret puts the target on her back in full focus. In search of the upper hand, Raf taps into a surprising new source of intel—and Monday reunites with the Minotaur. All sides converge in a final fight to expose or conceal the mystery of the landfill weretiger!
