Magnus: Between Two Worlds by Kyle Higgins, Jorge Fornés

4.0

This apparently is a rebooted comic from the 1950s but updated with Dr. Magnus being a female robot psychologist instead of a bounty hunter. It slowly unfolds its narrative based on the fear of robots taking over. It’s all well and good when AI are our servants but when they want more, things become ugly. I have had no experience with the older comic story but I enjoyed the narrative and art work. As the first volume, it provided backstory without info-dumping. Patience is required as the storytelling is not chronological. It is the set-up for the rest of the story arc. There are outstanding questions so I’m hoping that this will not be the only volume.

The themes in this book are timeless and transcend that of humans and AI. Highly recommended for science fiction and comic/graphic novel fans. There is some violence in this story, so for teens and older.

Thank you to Net Galley for this ARC.
