“Jordan and Daniel have created one of the best sci-fi comics in recent years, it's like Morrison, Cronenberg and Moebius have come together in an entity with its own personality. I hope to continue enjoying this series for a long time!”
Description
From rising star Jordan Thomas (The Man from Maybe, Mugshots) and viscerally talented artist Daniel Gete (Über) comes a hyper-violent sci-fi/action spectacle that will force you to trust no one . . . not even yourself . . . In the year 2142, fertility levels around the globe plummeted, and a black market for illegal clone babies emerged. Millions of parents used their own genetic material to welcome these new children, only realizing the horrific consequences far too late. At some point in their life cycle, three in four of these genetic duplicates transform into psychologically unstable killing machines known as “Dupes.” Fortunately, the United Nations of Europe has decided to take an active role in containing the growing threat. Their specialized task force has taken up the unenviable task of hunting Dupes before their violence can spread. To the government, they're the Duplicate Identification and Capture Division. To everyone else, they're the ""Skin Police."" The worst part of the job? It's always the one you least suspect . . . Collecting Skin Police #1–4.
Reviews
“Great read! Skin Police would fit right in during the golden age of 200AD. Smart, stylish, subversive and intense. This one is going on my pull list.”
"Full of good art and good ideas, it's faint praise to say this is the best book I've ever read about psychotic clones, but I defy anyone to make a better one."
"Skin Police is the kind of science fiction I love. High concept but gritty. It bears the hallmark of all great science fiction—a world that feels fantastic, but utterly believable."
