The graphic novel follows as both the children and the AI grow up very quickly. A sentient AI can be very helpful, but that also means it has the capacity to turn against humans, this is always a risk. This means the AI can now perform as a sentient being, independent of any commands. One that, right before the incident, had all of its safeguards removed. Luckily, their ship is equipped with a complex artifical intelligence system. They must figure out how to survive until the ship can get to their destination. But due to some exciting spoilers there is a group of children left alone on a space craft traveling through a stretch of the universe unreachable by any communications. I don’t want to ruin the surprise and shock. It’s better to leave more unsaid on this one. Sentient grabs the reader immediately with an intense opening. This also means it doesnt run the risk of being canceled in case of low sales. Not part of an ongoing series that may never be completed, but a solid story all by itself. I love it when I can find a comic book that is a single story in a single trade paperback. Sentient is a standalone science fiction graphic novel by the acclaimed team of Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Walta. Sentient by author Jeff Lemire, Illustrations Gabriel Walta
