The Surface #4 (2015) delivers a striking and cerebral continuation of one of the most thought-provoking creator-owned series from Image Comics. Written by Ales Kot with art by Langdon Foss, this issue plunges further into the metaphysical and political landscape of a near-future world on the brink of transformation. Blending speculative sci-fi with philosophical exploration, the series asks: What is real—and what is constructed?

Set in a hyper-surveilled dystopia where information is currency and freedom is illusion, this chapter expands on the journey of protagonists Nasia, Mark, and Gomez as they pursue “the Surface”—a mysterious realm rumoured to reveal ultimate truth. As they dive deeper into the unknown, questions of identity, existence, and the nature of reality take centre stage, with reality itself becoming more fluid and fractured.

Ales Kot’s writing in this issue is razor-sharp, unafraid to challenge convention or reader expectations. His narrative structure plays with time, perception, and format, often breaking the fourth wall to implicate the reader directly. Meanwhile, Langdon Foss’s intricate linework and abstract design continue to disorient and engage in equal measure, creating a reading experience that feels part comic, part philosophical experiment.

The Surface #4 is not a conventional sci-fi story. It’s a high-concept exploration of humanity’s relationship with technology, truth, and the systems that define us. For readers who enjoy intellectual storytelling with artistic risk, this issue offers a powerful and unconventional addition to their collection.
