Tucker's father was a dreamer who developed a utopian society complete with thinking and feeling robotic servants who performed every menial task required by their human masters. Tuck resented, however, being used by his dad in the ad campaign that sold Columbia to the world. He also didn't like the uniform and dull existence the mechanical world provided. So Tucker took off to work out his latent aggression by running secret and violent missions for the government. He loved his new job, right up to the moment the president ordered his whole crew to be killed after a highly sensitive mission.
Publisher’s description
Howard Chaykin (LEGEND, MIGHTY LOVE, American Flagg) writes and illustrates CITY OF TOMORROW, an imaginative new 6-issue miniseries telling the story of Columbia, a planned utopian community of the future! Created a decade ago by renegade billionaire Eli Foyle, the artificial island off the California coast offered winners of a citizenship lottery the chance at a brighter tomorrow and a crime-free world. Life in Columbia was a dream...for a while. At first, the problems seemed to be no big deal, until it became clear that a virus was affecting the municipal employees of Columbia...all of whom are actually bio-animatronic robots. Now these robots have gone from civil servants to criminal masterminds, and they've turned Columbia from an idyllic community into a hellhole of crime and urban blight! Now Foyle's 28-year-old son Tucker has returned to Columbia fresh from the Navy SEALs, and with the help of his father and a posse of concerned Columbia citizens will begin the slow process of taking back the night. But is he too late?
