Fatal Attraction meets The Terminator in the upcoming Artificial, a new erotic thriller by acclaimed creator Maria Llovet (Crave, Violent Flowers, All The Things We Didn’t Do Last Night). This all-new, four-issue miniseries is set to launch in September from Image Comics.
Clara, a fashion stylist disillusioned with love, turns to a futuristic dating service that offers lifelike android partners. But when her dream lover glitches into a possessive stalker, she finds herself trapped in a game of desire, control, and survival.
“Artificial is part sci-fi thriller, part toxic romance. It’s a twisted love story for the age of AI—and I can’t wait for readers to lose themselves in it,” said Llovet.
Llovet played with similar themes of desire and control in her sci-fi forward erotica, Crave, for which she received much critical acclaim. This new story promises to push the boundaries further and show off more of her thriller/horror storytelling chops.
