For their 45th anniversary, Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to undergo an experimental procedure that will give them their youth back, but their hopes are dashed when the couple is faced with the results: severely disfigured yet intellectually and physically superior duplicates of themselves. Can the original Hank and Molly coexist in the same world as their clones? In Upgrade Soul, McDuffie Award-winning creator Ezra Claytan Daniels asks probing questions about what shapes our identity-Is it the capability of our minds or the physicality of our bodies? Is a newer, better version of yourself still you? This page-turning graphic novel follows themore
There isnt a whole lot of action in this book. Instead, its packed with heart, heartache, shock, questions that have answers and questions we need to answer ourselves about life. Upgrade Soul makes you take a good, hard look at the world around you, and it makes you wonder if this is fiction or inspired by real-life events. Ezra Claytan Daniels creates one of the best graphic novels of 2018, and I highly recommended picking it when it releases in September. Read Full Review
