New York Public Library List - Best New Comics of 2022 for Adults!

A Korean nine-year-old named Jesse is adopted and sent to live with a lovely couple in America. Equipped with a seemingly encyclopedic brain but socially awkward, the young girl's journey through the complexities of race, gender, and identity hits a fork in the road when she discovers she's not entirely human...yet. Adolescence just got a lot more emotional for the world's first true A.I. system.

Reviews
"Takes Children-of-Man-meets-AI energy and finds its own place. Everything is just off, and compellingly so. Contemplative, with a beautiful mood throughout." -Kieron Gillen

"Classic SF premise (AI as human) with a very modern feel, elegant art and damn fine lettering. A compelling book." -Kurt Busiek

"A fantastic opening salvo." -ComicBook.com

Visually striking... there's much to chew on in a cool package for philosophical sci-fi fans." -Publishers Weekly

"With perfect pacing and absolutely gorgeous artwork, Made In Korea is highly recommended." -Brian K. Vaughan

"Holt folds their own background as a Korean-born, nonbinary, transracial adoptee, brilliantly melding identity issues with speculative AI enhancement. Brazilian, Barcelona-based Schall's art provides an ideal, exacting visualization of Holt's new world. Volume 2 can't come fast enough!" -Booklist (starred review)
