The story is really well done and nicely paced, veering between a tense stand-off on the psychiatrist’s couch and flashbacks to the incident in question. But in this case, she is trying to determine why he deviated from his programming in a planned mission. The story treads some of the same ground as the play “The Uncanny Valley”, which Mark and I aw earlier this year – with a psychiatrist interviewing an artificial intelligence. It was a happy day in the Guzman-Coatsworth household.Īrtifice is Alex’s first full graphic novel – a sci fi adventure that revolves around Deacon, a “synthetic person” who was created to be an enforcer for a corporation. I’m sorry it took me so long to review this, Alex! I planned to buy it at RC, but Mark dissuaded me – apparently because he wanted to surprise me for Christmas with a signed copy. Turns out Alex had the table across from QSF in the dealer room – he’s a great, sweet, personable guy.
