Now, she must discover the truth behind the killings while staying on the good side of the children's harsh leader...or she's next.
YOU ARE OBSOLETE is an spine-tingling thriller that evokes the eerie naturalism of 1970s hor-ror films with a modern deadly digital twist. Written by Mathew Klickstein (Sony Pic-tures' Against the Dark, Slimed!, Springfield Confidential, Selling Nostalgia) and drawn Evgeniy Bornakov (DESCE more
A terrifying thrill ride of a mystery that makes you more and more curious as you read it. Read Full Review
You Are Obsolete is not a new concept but I'm interested in the approach that Klickstein is taking with it. You can see some potential generational issues to navigate, especially in relation to technology, that might be outdated before it even hit the page, but with it set in the Baltics and playing to a different angle it could all work well in the end. Lyla's interesting enough from what we get of her but I'm just eager to see more of the town, the children, and how this tension is all handled. Bornyakov is definitely well-suited to handle this project as he's got some great character designs and captures the feel of the location really well, especially with Affe's colors for everything. It's haunting in that kind of original Fargo way in looking at the locations. Read Full Review

Its well paced with good art and just enough creepy imagery and ideas to make it interesting, but it would probably be better to wait for the trade paperback. Read Full Review
Creepy!
The smiles on the adults' faces are worth the money alone.
You Are Obsolete doesn't give it all up on the first date, there are some creepy and intriguing details established in the first issue, enough that I want to find out more.
This was truly awful. Maybe being in IT ruined it for me but the concept is dumb, the ending is dumb, and it’s not conceivable that any of this plot would happen. Probably the lowest I’ve ever rated a comic. Skip this.
