I like how George Schall’s artwork uses a veneer that looks like fingerprints.ĪBBOTT 1973 #5 (Boom! 2021) – untitled, Saladin Ahmed, Sami Kivelä. This is a really interesting story about adoption and posthumanism, and it’s based on the writer’s own experience as a transracial adoptee from Korea ( ).
The proxy, named Jesse, reads an entire room full of books in one night. Chul, a Wook-Jin employee, makes some mysterious alterations to a proxy that’s being shipped to Texas.
It’s hinted that the entire world is suffering from an infertility plague. Wook-Jin Industries (named after the cartoonist Wook-Jin Clark?) makes artificial robot children, or “proxies,” for infertile parents. MADE IN KOREA #1 (Image, 2021) – untitled, Jeremy Holt, George Schall. Then we cut back to Sacagawea, who has a baby on her back. A funny moment is when Sacagawea complains that everyone else is climbing too slow, and Lewis replies that they’re all carrying extra weight, and he has a dog on his back. In this issue the Corps of Discovery climb up a giant cliff, suffering numerous casualties due to some horrible rock monsters.

This was a gripping miniseries with spectacular art, and I hope there’ll be a third volume of Goddamned someday, though R.M.

Jessica has imprisoned the monster in Erica’s octopus doll. As this flashback story begins, a House of Slaughter agent named Jessica has just rescued the child Erica from a monster that killed her parents and best friend.
