The Private Eye: a supervillain tries to bring the internet back to a world where the press are the cops

Originally published at: http://boingboing.net/2017/06/30/after-the-internet.html

Brian K Vaughan and artists Marcos Martin and Muntsa Vicente started syndicating The Private Eye just before the first Snowden revelations hit, which was a fortuitous bit of timing for them, since their surreal science fictional tale was set in a future where the rupture of all internet security had provoked humanity into banning the internet altogether, replacing it with a world where cable news was so dominant that the police had been replaced by reporters.
