In a Vancouver of the future painted with ultramodern decay, a groundbreaking advancement in technology promises an end to entropy itself.
But when an attack on this mysterious "Keeper Program" threatens the lives of everyone tied to it, retired Police Detective Bennie Strikman is called to investigate one last case.
Eisner-winning and Harvey-nominated writer and director Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) is joined by rising star artist Caio Filipe (Stranger Things: Tales From Hawkins) for this timely and thought-provoking look into the human condition, set in a dystopia that's as grounded as it is metaphysical.
The supporting characters in the story add a layer of depth to the narrative. From wealthy benefactors to rebel factions, the characters are well fleshed out and have their own take on the story's central conflict. Their motivations and actions add a level of unpredictability and intrigue to the story. Read Full Review

Lotus Land #1 is a very good start to the cyberpunk world Darcy Van Poelgeest and Caio Filipe introduce us to. The environmental storytelling is as good as the character interactions. It all comes together to leave you wanting to find out what happens next. Read Full Review
I hope as this series moves on we get more information about the world and what the main setting has to do with the world at large. It's still very interesting, I just hope to get more understanding.
