Eugenic #2

For me, the best sci-fi is always the kind that impacts you viscerally in the first instance, but then lingers in your mind long after youve walked away from it. And in that respect, Eugenic hits the sweet spot beautifully. Its dark, troubling and thought-provoking science fiction of the highest order, and comes with my strongest possible recommendation Read Full Review

Following Memetic and Cognetic, Eugenic is the last installment of Tynion and Donovans Apocalyptic trilogy. With the first issue giving background and rising action, the second provides the climax where truths are revealed to both the characters and readers. We will see the aftermath and resolution in the next and final issue, which will also take place 200 years further into the future. Read Full Review

Eugenic #2 hits comic stores and digital stores this Wednesday, November 8th, 2017. Read Full Review

Even as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked genetic tampering, the importance of diversity and identity, and the very real capacity of the few (or even an individual) to impose their will upon the world, Eugenic thankfully doesnt beat the reader over the head with its values. Instead, it depicts a dystopian future in which these scenarios have played out to their most tragic conclusions in a way that encourages contemplation of these topics. Fans of provocative, organic horror shouldnt miss Eugenic. (4.5/5) Read Full Review

This isn't a comic in the traditional sense where we follow a few characters along the way in a story. Instead we're being presented pieces of a puzzle each looking at the ramifications of a decision and the philosophy about them. This is a parable in comic form and it's all the more fascinating for it. Read Full Review

We jump ahead another two hundred years in the next issue. What is next for the human race? Read Full Review

There's all kinds of creepy little things revealed about the Numans as well that you will not want to miss out on. Again, this story is creepy because the root of it is something that could realistically happen if someone meddled with genetics enough. There aren't quite as many twists this issue as the last, but the plot development is pretty insane because it all links up even 100 years later. Read Full Review

It was an interesting choice to jump ahead 200 years in the future. I can understand the reasoning though, the last issue was more of a preface, and here's where the story really lives. It's funny, the ubermensch people call themselves 'Numans', evoking the thought of Gary Numan in me, the emotionally removed electronic artist. A fitting connection.
