PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED) -- In this innovative andexquisitely drawn sci-fi graphic novel, an aging couple grapples with what itmeans to be human. Molly, a brilliant geneticist, and Hank, a famous comicscreator, celebrate their 40th anniversary in a most unusual way: undergoing anexperimental operation to clone themselves. Under the eye of an unsavoryscientist, the operation goes awry, leaving Hank and Molly mentally andphysically weakened-and their clones as "mutant fetuses" who retaintheir sparkling intelligence but resemble fleshy potatoes. Daniels originallyserialized the story on an interactive iPhone app, complete with an originalmusical score. The adaptation to the printed page doesn't lose that inventivespirit, while cunningly executed expressions make each character feel deeplyreal, with warm and thoughtful coloring throughout. At the heart of thiscomplex, cutting-edge comic is an old-fashioned tale: that love gives life itsmeaning. On a bed that resembles a life raft in a chaotic cloning clinic, Hankreturns from a conversation with his doppel-brainer to hug Molly tightly, theirwedding bands touching on their knotted, wrinkled hands. "I'm so lucky tohave you, Molly," he says.

"Just the way you are." Thisimmersive, touching sci-fi narrative weaves around central philosophicalquestions about identity, appealing to both genre and art comics fans.
