Well, that's the premise, at least. The series takes many turns from there.While the comic is set to launch in the fall, Black Mask in the meantime is hosting a panel Thursday at Comic-Con International, and alludes to the new project in a tweet:

Black Mask is known for publishing politically themed comics such as Calexit and the benefit anthology Occupy Comics. Therefore the company's punk-rock ethic toward the medium fits with the hacktivist, anti-establishment themes of Mr. Robot.
