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.

    Lotus Land #1 is a standard detective story. It's entertaining enough and we'll see where it goes and if it'll stand out. It teases potential and interesting aspects. But, overall, it's a noir detective story set in a dystopian future, a story we've seen many times before. Read Full Review
