    As a first experience with Llovet's work, I'm definitely keen to see what they do next. The series could have been expanded a good bit with a lot more to explore, but it's basically a Twilight Zone episode with more sex to it. Okay, so it's a Black Mirror-type story. Either way, it's solidly good stuff with a great-looking artist in how they portray characters, movement, and just the overall aesthetic. It's a tight and solid work that I'm sure reads better in full within one setting with more tension, and I'm already envious of those that will be able to do that. Worth checking out.

    Theres a real sense of collision at issues end. Had Llovett been able to sell the horror of that moment with a bit more intensity, she might have really had something overwhelming with Artificial. There are brief moments throughout the series that feel truly interesting. Clara calling an AI customer service bot to try to cancel her artificial relationship with her android lover? Genius. The big physical altercation at the end of the series? Something less than that. The darkness of the series would have needed to be there in greater intensity for the tenderness of the series to feel like the triumph that it could have been. Read Full Review
