New York Public Library List - Best New Comics of 2022 for Adults!
A Korean nine-year-old named Jesse is adopted and sent to live with a lovely couple in America. Equipped with a seemingly encyclopedic brain but socially awkward, the young girl's journey through the complexities of race, gender, and identity hits a fork in the road when she discovers she's not entirely human...yet. Adolescence just got a lot more emotional for the world's first true A.I. system.

is just off, and compellingly so. Contemplative, with a beautiful mood
throughout." -Kieron Gillen "Ambitious and expansive... An exceptional comic."
i?9;Graphic Policy Visually striking... there's much to chew on in a cool package for
philosophical sci-fi fans." -Publishers Weekly "Like the best Black Mirror episodes... Holt and Schall have created
something special." -Nick Spencer "Classic SF premise (AI as human) with a very modern feel, elegant art and
damn fine lettering. A compelling book." -Kurt Busiek

Jeremy Holt is a non-binary author whose works include What If?...Venom, Gatsby, Made in Korea, Virtually Yours, Before Houdini, and Skip to the End.
An original art page from After Houdini was acquired by The Houdini Museum of NYC, where it now hangs in its permanent collection. And Skip to the End was one of three works of fiction that The New York Times included in an in-depth expose titled Kurt Cobain: What to Read and Watch, 25 Years After the Nirvana Leader’s Death.
They have received high praise from Brian K. Vaughan (Y the Last Man, Saga, Paper Girls) and NYT crossword constructor David Kwong. Originally from no place in particular, they’ve lived in Italy, Singapore, England, Norway, Texas, Vermont, and Brooklyn, before settling in Kingston, New York.
