Upgrade Soul by Ezra Claytan DanielsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Everyone ages, but one elderly couple learns of an experimental procedure that could restore their youth. A massive donation secures them the right to be the human test subjects. Naturally, there is a problem and the results are wildly different from what they expected. Instead of their physical bodies being rejuvenated they end up with cloned copies. Cloned copies that were halted early in the developmental process so they are unfinished and disfigured. Yet the clones are intellectually and physically superior to the originals. So, the question is can they coexist?
The concept is superb and quite unique asking some nearly unanswerable questions about identity. The execution was a little confusing because of the flashbacks and jumps in the timeline. The art style is striking and well drawn. Overall, a well crafted and disturbing science fiction story that will appeal to readers who like complex philosophical concepts in their comics.
I requested a review copy from Net Galley in return for an honest review.
