Black Web: ISI Files is an illustrated prequel novella series set before the events of Emergence 2028.
Before Cal “Geist” Richter disappears in the feature film, he leads an off-book team through the hidden jobs no public agency will touch. When a hunted courier vanishes near a research district sliding toward quarantine, Geist and his operators are pulled into a deniable recovery mission with no clean answers.
The trail points toward Dr. Sergio DiNapoli, private security forces, syndicate pressure, and megafirm coverups tied to the early failures that will help reshape Los Angeles. What begins as a pickup turns into a running fight through sealed corridors, compromised evidence, and a city already learning how to bury the truth.
Black Web is planned as the first illustrated prequel novella in the Emergence 2028 universe, blending tactical sci-fi action, classified dossier pages, and high-impact art plates.
