When we say truth is stranger than fiction, it is usually not a good thing. Local multi-artists Jacob and Arnold Pander are filmmakers, writers and graphic novelists. A few years ago, they wrote and illustrated Triple-X, about a cyberpunk Orwellian future. They have updated it and added to the story in Dissident-X. A longer interview about the motivation and the plot is at www.comicsbeat.com/interview-pander-brothers-dissident-x/.
