Live (Someone Else’s) Life to the Fullest in VICARIOUS #1
‘Saltburn’ meets ‘Eat the Rich’ in BOOM! Studios’ latest sci-fi thriller
BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at VICARIOUS #1, the premiere issue of a brand-new sci-fi psychological thriller from New York Times bestselling and fan favorite Mighty Morphin Power Rangers writer Ryan Parrott, acclaimed artist Eleonora Carlini (Go Go Power Rangers), colorist Mattia Iacono (The Dead Lucky) with color assistance by Luca Mattioni, and letterer Becca Carey. Coming to comic shops October 2024.
Justin is your average 20-something burnout–no real connections with anyone or prospects on his horizon. But, after a dangerous encounter reveals itself as a fortuitous opportunity, Justin finds just what his life has been missing in the secret world of Proxies–young, attractive, ambitious hustlers like himself who allow the rich access to their feelings and experiences through a cutting edge technological implant.
Does Justin have what it takes to make it in this seductive new world?
