Description
The second volume of Darren Aronofsky's original graphic novel series Human Nature, a surreal and satirical graphic novel adventure like no other.
From the visionary minds behind Black Swan and The Whale, Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel, along with writer Jeff Welch and acclaimed artist Martín Morazzo (Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum), comes Human Nature Book 2, the penultimate chapter in this razor-sharp social satire about ambition, power, and humanity's desperate quest for immortality.
The stakes are higher than ever in the second book of Human Nature. Duke and his new companions have managed to please the unpredictable and alien Keepers, performing humiliating entertainment to quell the creatures' torturous, trigger-happy tentacles and keep the skibbles flowing. But even underneath this veneer of stasis and calm, Duke is desperate to escape the ever-watching gaze of the Keepers and find his daughter. Will Duke and his new friends find a way out? Or will the temptation of being safe override all other concerns?
Overflowing with twisted humour, surreal adventures, and dazzling visuals, Human Nature hurtles readers into a bizarre yet unsettlingly familiar future, confronting unimaginable obstacles at every turn. It's a gripping, audacious ride that only Aronofsky could conjure—one that races forward at breathtaking speed!
