Fatal AttractionĀ meetsĀ The TerminatorĀ in the upcomingĀ Artificial, a new erotic thriller by acclaimed creator Maria Llovet (Crave, Violent Flowers, All The Things We Didnāt 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.

āArtificialĀ is part sci-fi thriller, part toxic romance. Itās a twisted love story for the age of AIāand I canāt wait for readers to lose themselves in it,ā 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.
Artificial #1Ā will be available atĀ comic book shopsĀ on Wednesday, September 3:
- Cover A by Llovet
Cover B 1:25 copy incentive by JesĆŗs Orellana
Artificial #1Ā will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
