Do robots dream of electric sheep? Do they need psychiatric help? Lost Souls: Haywire spins a futuristic tale of the worst day of one man’s life.
Bob is a psychiatrist for robots, a psychiatrist who hates his job. Day in and day out he analyzes, certifies and judges the head-spinning drones, the stuttering bots, the self-looping droids – and he’s had enough! All this silicon lunacy is driving him insane. Luckily it’s his last day on the job. Unluckily, he may have just botched his escape. He’s made a mistake. A mistake that has brought an unusual patient – one that will judge him. Part cybernetic The Metamorphosis part Chuck Palahniuk-tinged Twilight Zone, get ready for the transgressive cyberpunk whodunit in the shared world of Lost Souls.
Lost Souls: Haywire is written and illustrated by Darryl Knickrehm.
“HAYWIRE and the whole LOST SOULS series has been brewing for over a decade from my experiences living in Japan,” dais Knickrehm in a press release from Scout Comics. “I am ecstatic that Scout is as excited as I am to bring HAYWIRE to the world and I am thrilled to be working with them. I can’t wait to see what we’re going to do together.”
Lost Souls: Haywire #1 arrives on December 14, 2022.
