1 post | 1 read
In the distant future, the human body is atemporary and interchangeable commodity - if you can pay. For the interstellar elite, bodies are swappedout and reused without a second thought. You never grow old; you neverdie. However, some bodies are more temporary thanothers ... Takeshi Kovacs was once a member of the EnvoyCorps, stormtroopers for the Interstellar Earth Protectorate, ultra-lethaladepts in switching bodies across the stars. While he served, he was known by avariety of names--Mamba Lev, One Hand Rending, the Icepick--all testament to hiscapacity for rapid response and extreme violence in whatever flesh he wore. Nowhe's out of the service and trying to live a different life. But theProtectorate hasn't changed its spots, no matter what world Kovacs drifts to,and with that old combat rage still burning deep inside him, will he ever reallybe able to walk away? Created by Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbonwas previously adapted as a Netflix television series. This original graphicnovel, written by Rik Hoskin (Brandon Sanderson's White Sand/Pierce Brown's RedRising, expands upon the Altered Carbon universe.

Mehso-so

An interesting addition to the Takeshi Kovacs universe. Really helps visually highlight the concept of sleeving human bodies. It was fun seeing this universe in full comic book color. The story itself was just ok, not as good as the trilogy books.
