    Made in Korea packs a lot into its first issue. The six-issue miniseries is ambitious and expansive, worthy of the topic it settled on. There's something lurking in its pages that looks like it'll blow up in later issues concerning the questions that come with adopting a child among couples that can't conceive. Just how much that'll figure in the story remains to be seen, but what's here is already enough to make for an exceptional comic. Read Full Review

    Lotusland Comics - Hank Rea May 29, 2021

    'Made in Korea' #1 is an involving story not dependent on spectacle but ideas and human nature. It's a science-fiction story built on emotions and wants. What this all means after issue one, only the creators know, but readers will get sucked into the story of a family made whole by the questionable methods of a man with his own agenda. This is the stuff of Philip K. Dick, a quiet triumph, and should not be missed.  Read Full Review

    It does seem like an interesting enough story and worth a look if you are into this type of series. I would have a look at it first before you jump into the series though. Read Full Review

    The influences in this book are not hard to see at this stage. As the series progresses I would like to see more of the rationale of Jesse's parent's choices that led him there. Even though we have seen the type of Jesse's journey before, the characters need to be engaging, given that this is a slow burner of a book. Read Full Review
