My new graphic novel BOXED is out today from @madcavestudios.com. Check out this great review:
"...The speculative fiction of the near future world feels portentous, and I especially enjoyed the philosophical musings on the ethics of developing A.I. and V.R. technology."

‘Boxed’ turns sentient A.I. tropes into a tense super-spy adventure
Uses the fear of another pandemic to add weight to a portentous story about the rise of A.I.
