Writer Tim Seeley stresses that comic is ‘about porn’ without actually being porn.
With the porn industry perennially in the media spotlight, especially now that HBO’s The Deuce is entering its final season, as AVN.com reported, and the British ITV series Adult Material set to air its first episode later this year, it was probably only a matter of time before comic books took on the adult business as a setting as well.
Starting in October, that’s exactly what will happen, as the science-fiction comic book publisher Vault Comics launches Money Shot, a series that envisions a future—sadly, one that may not be too far off—in which scientists are starved of research funding. So what do they do? Science marches on, so the group of scientists in the series, written by Tim Seeley and Sarah Beattie, resort to raising funds through online porn—with a futuristic twist, of course.
The lead scientist in the cast of characters, Christine Ocampos, invents as “teleportation” machine and uses it for, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “traveling to strange new worlds, meeting new civilizations and having sex with them in order to broadcast on the internet as the final frontier of pornography.”
The first issue of Money Shot hits comic book stores on October 23.
