Beautifully drawn and well told, its the kind of story that we rarely see....a straight forward action adventure tale with a gay hero. Even in 2021, when LGBTQ characters are gaining more and more visibility, very few of them are the star of a story, usually existing only in the periphery. I think the story is interesting enough to stand on its own, but making the main character gay just shot this graphic novel over the top.
I read a recommendation for this comic in some blog and decided to give it a try. I am pleasantly surprised by it.

An android soldier is sent to eliminate everyone in a colony but he decides to spare the live of a young man. Eventually the corporation that sent him there founds them and the soldier is sent to a psychologist who will try to discover why he spared this man's life and why did he kill part of the retrieval team.

The story touches some very interesting issues regarding humanity show more and the relationship with AIs and with everything that's different, read LGBT issues. In this regard the exchanges between the soldier and the psychologist are the better part of the story and really well done.

I will definitely read something more from this author.

Loved it. It ended exactly were it needed to end. Plus the author's FAQ was a nice touch. Deacon and Jeff deserve a HEA, glad they made theirs.
A robot saves his target and the therapist employed by his bosses wants to know why.

This was such a great story! Definitely recommend!
