Joy Operations | Brian Michael Bendis
1 post | 1 read
Jinxworld and Dark Horse are proud to present the debut of a fiercely ambitious, science-fiction odyssey by Brian Michael Bendis! Brian Michael Bendis, the New York Times bestselling, Peabody and multi-Eisner award-winning co-creator of Miles Morales, Naomi, Jessica Jones, and Powers, teams up with scorching hot comics sensation Stephen Byrne (Wonder Twins, Legion of Superheroes) for their very first creator-owned blockbuster series. Fifty-five years from now. Joy is an EN·VOI. A special agent of the JONANDO TRUST. Trusts are corporate-owned cities that are the centerpiece of modern society. She rights wrongs for the trust. She is excellent. Perfection. Hard on herself. Driven. Almost legendary in some parts. Until one day a voice pops in her head trying to get her to betray everything she has ever believed. This meticulously-designed Akira meets Inception journey shows us a new future like only comics can. All this and also an exclusive look behind-the-scenes and a look forward to other Jinxworld projects coming exclusively to Dark Horse. Collects Joy Operations #1–#5.

Mehso-so

In a future of corporate run cities, their interests are violently protected by special agents called EN. VOIs. Joy is one of the best. One day a voice in her head pleads for her help to bring justice by betraying her employer.
Very interesting world building and fun interplay between Joy and her disembodied companion will satisfy any fan of sci-fi, but doesn‘t quite clear the bar for a larger audience appeal.
