One rogue A.I. One broken agent. Zero trust.
From Mad Cave Studios comes BOXED, a sleek and timely original graphic novel that confronts our deepest digital fears—by way of a dangerously intimate reunion.
Written by Mark Sable (Graveyard of Empires, Unthinkable), illustrated by Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, The Approach), with colors by Nick Filardi (Rogue Planet) and letters by Thomas Mauer (Popgun), Boxed is a cautionary tale about consent, control, and the very human costs of artificial love.
