MackSumo: Years of Magnitude is a cosmic comic-infographic memoir tracing MackSumo’s transformation from January 2024 to June 29, 2026. Set against a backdrop of U.S. elections, inflation, global war, AI acceleration, celebrity influence, labor instability, and personal reinvention, the issue reframes real-world pressure as symbolic fuel for identity-building.
The story begins with MackSumo as a multi-hyphenate creator collecting fragments of himself: photographer, gamer, writer, rapper, blogger, thinker, and mythmaker. As the world moves through the 2024 election cycle, the eclipse, social media warfare, and political return narratives, MackSumo begins to recognize that the same forces shaping nations also shape artists: attention, memory, image, conflict, and belief.
In 2025, the narrative turns inward. MackSumo researches his own intellect, literacy, emotional intelligence, and cross-domain reasoning through AI-assisted reflection. This leads to a breakthrough: he realizes his strength is not simple IQ or superiority, but combinational intelligence — the ability to connect music, politics, science, romance, gaming, economics, celebrity culture, and mythology into one system. From this realization, the comic infographic becomes his signature weapon: a way to compress complexity into visual meaning.
But the discovery also creates danger. The arc MackSumo and the Darker Temptations of Intellect explores pride, over-comparison, isolation, emotional distance, and the risk of turning intelligence into ego. Lyra, Kineticman, and Athena-9 help guide him toward a moral compass: humility, discipline, empathy, documentation, creative service, and self-protection.
By 2026, MackSumo’s inner world and outer world collide.
