It’s not actually older-supervillain/young- superhero chika chika bow wow. Unlike Artifice, this one isn’t a romance-although there are certainly strong romantic themes!-and things aren’t what they seem in the beginning.
The first arc of The Young Protectors is a coming-of-age superhero story featuring young fire-bending hero Kyle-a member of the independent Young Protectors superhero team-who falls into the power of a handsome and dangerous older super-villain. (Oh, and it’s a trade paperback, too! You can buy the book here.) You can read the complete Artifice comic for free starting here. Now the evil Corporation who built him wants answers and they have employed the brilliant and ruthless robopsychologist Clarice Maven to get them.ĭeacon seems desperate to conceal the shocking events that took place between him and Jeff on Da Vinci 4, but what chance does he have fighting an adversary who can control his every move?Īrtifice was listed as one of the Top 5 LGBT Graphic Novels of 2013 by The Advocate and was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist of 2014. In my opinion, it’s the best introduction to my work.Īrtifice is a sci-fi romance-thriller about a prototype android soldier, Deacon, and the 19-year-old human outcast, Jeff, he was supposed to kill, but didn’t. Even folks who aren’t huge sci-fi fans seem to like it. It’s a complete story, a quick read at 88 pages, and is very well-reviewed. I recommend starting with with my science-fiction romance-thriller comic, Artifice, the first graphic novel I ever created.
