Following its acquisition by the Rainmaker Income Fund in 2006, [[Mainframe Entertainment]] was renamed Rainmaker Animation. In 2007, Rainmaker announced plans to create a trilogy of ''ReBoot'' films with illustrator/animator Daniel Allen as the lead character designer. In conjunction with the website Zeroes2Heroes, Rainmaker announced an intention to allow fans greater access to the development of the film version's plans and also to the development of a ''ReBoot'' [[webcomic]]. Fans were given the chance to submit their own art and designs, with the potential to become an artist on the project, and their feedback helped decide which of five ''ReBoot'' pitches was developed.<ref name="return">{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i9a352772046b5f139781428f87532dad |title=Early CG TV show gets "ReBoot" |work=The Hollywood Reporter |last=Giardina |first=Carolyn |access-date=August 5, 2007 |date=July 23, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070914165638/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i9a352772046b5f139781428f87532dad |archive-date=2007-09-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=zeroes-09-08-97>{{cite web |url=http://alpha.zeros2heroes.com/content/view/32/97/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070908115242/http://live.zeros2heroes.com/content/view/32/97/ |archive-date=September 8, 2007 |title=ReBoot Reborn: Reaching Out to Old Fans in a New Way|access-date=July 24, 2007|publisher=Zeros2Heroes.com}}</ref>

The winning pitch was ''ReBoot: Arrival''.<ref name=zeroes-09-08-97 /> Rainmaker said it would monitor feedback for the webcomic but may not use it as the basis for the company's movie plans.<ref>{{cite web | url =http://live.zeros2heroes.com/content/view/35/128/ | title= What Happens Next? | publisher=Zeros2Heroes.com | date= n.d. | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080407213809/http://live.zeros2heroes.com/content/view/35/128/ | archive-date=April 7, 2008}}</ref> Four fans were chosen to work as artists on the ''Arrival'' comic.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} According to the pitch at the Zeroes2Heroes website, Megabyte's Hunt has developed into a Net-wide war so pervasive that even other viruses united against it. The Users have gone, spending their time in an unending [[massively multiplayer online game]]. A sentient system named Gnosis is created as a way to stop Megabyte but goes rogue and begins enslaving other systems in its attempt to gain User-like powers. To stop Gnosis and bring back the Users, two teams of heroes are assembled which will include new characters and Lens the Codemaster, who appeared in the season&nbsp;2 episode "High Code". Elements of this would be dropped in the comic.

The official ''ReBoot'' website was updated with a countdown, which ended on May 30, 2008, at 12:00&nbsp;a.m. EST.<ref name="Brought to you by Rainmaker">{{cite web|url=https://reboot.com/ |title=Brought to you by Rainmaker |publisher=ReBoot |date=2011-03-01 |access-date=2011-05-04}}</ref> Shortly afterwards, the site was updated with information about the first webcomic from the ''Arrival'' team and ongoing community input. The comic, renamed ''Code of Honor'', was viewable after creating an account or using an existing [[Zeros 2 Heroes Media|Zeros 2 Heroes]] account.

A new countdown appeared on the official ''ReBoot'' website on August 18, 2008<ref name="Brought to you by Rainmaker"/> to launch the second installment of the webcomic. Updates to the comic were posted on Mondays, with two pages each update. The comic ended shortly after Christmas, and surveys were added to the site. ''The Art of ReBoot'', a 104-page hardcover artbook, was published in February&nbsp;2007 by Beach Studios; it contained copies of various rare and never-before-seen conceptual artwork, with the work of Brendan McCarthy being a major focus.

On July 24, 2009, the ''ReBoot'' website was upgraded into the official ''ReBoot'' fansite, with the webcomic freely available. The website was set to shut down for July 30, 2012 after several years of inactivity; an announcement on July 27, 2012, revealed that the site would remain open.

==== Synopsis ====
The first ''Paradigms Lost'' issue opens with the aftermath of the Hunt: Mainframe is devastated and overrun with Zombinomes, the User is missing, and the entire population is being evacuated to the Super Computer. Worse still, the weakened Guardian Collective is facing viral attacks and uprisings across the entire Net. Turbo blames Bob for this, saying that his views on viruses became widespread and left them weakened. Enzo Matrix, meanwhile, is a star pupil in the Guardian Academy. The viral threat is ended when the Codemasters pledge their help, offering a firmware named Gnosis. Gnosis is uploaded to every System on the Net, erasing all viruses and ending the crisis. The first issue ends with the Codemasters' Guildmaster activating a "Phase Two" for the implemented Gnosis.

The second and third issues had the heroes, now joined by Lens, try to stop the Codemasters from using Gnosis to access the Code itself, allowing the Guildmaster total control. However, Gnosis swiftly decides that it can complete its task better with the Guildmaster deleted, and following that it eliminates the Guardians. Mainframe and 36 other systems are enslaved as power sources for its mission. Dot tries to carry out rebel action in Mainframe, Bob and Lens retreat to the bowels of the Super-Computer to hide, and Enzo is captured and discovers Megabyte (his code retained by Gnosis) is a key Gnosis advisor.

Bob is recruited by Exidy, an entity that is the source of the Code and trapped by Gnosis in the Net; intent on restoring balance and stability, she gives Bob the ability to wield the Code. While the main heroes link up and Bob is sent to take on Gnosis directly, Enzo verbally battles with Megabyte for influence over Gnosis, pointing out that it could accomplish its task quicker if it was cooperative and asked for assistance. When Gnosis comes around to this, Bob decides to allow the weapon to live and reprograms it, and has it restore the Net to the way it was. That done, he frees Exidy and returns home.
