Synthetics Volume One #4 (CVR A) (Tony Parker)

Earth is dying and humanity has less than twenty years left. In Synthetics, Dr. Hernando Montoya, head of Vita Nova’s labs, races to save the planet by creating the world’s first synthetic human life. As ethical and legal lines blur, Montoya faces a radically divided world where synthetic beings challenge what it means to be human. This volume, part of Synthetics Part 1, follows a high-stakes countdown as scientists grapple with survival, law, and conscience. J. Michael Straczynski writes a taut sci‑fi saga filled with political intrigue, emotional depth, and hard science turned into speculative prophecy. Tony Parker’s dynamic art and Carrie Strachan’s vibrant colors bring the perilous near-future to vivid life, culminating in a finishing arc that stakes the series’ fate. A limited, action-packed installment—32 pages of suspense, revelation, and moral consequence.
