For their 45th anniversary, Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to undergo an experimental rejuvenation procedure, but their hopes for youth are dashed when the couple is faced with the results: severely disfigured yet intellectually and physically superior duplicates of themselves. Can the original Hank and Molly coexist in the same world as their clones? In Upgrade Soul, McDuffie Award–winning creator Ezra Claytan Daniels asks probing questions about what shapes our identity—Is it the capability of our minds or the physicality of our bodies? Is a newer, better version of yourself still you? This page-turning graphic novel follows the lives of Hank and Molly as they discover the harsh truth that only one version of themselves is fated to survive.

Review of 'Upgrade Soul' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The ending of this felt a little rushed and odd, but overall I really enjoyed it. I went into not knowing much about it, so I was surprised along the way. I’m not sure there’s a clear message here as much as an interesting sequence of events, thought provoking moments. I think it had the potential to be more than what it is. But I enjoyed reading it a lot. It had a good pace. I find a lot of graph novels too fast, but this was more my speed.
