Most graphic novels exist in the form of books, meant to be read, leafed through and live on your shelf. But Ezra Claytan Daniels’ Upgrade Soul isn’t most graphic novels.

Old Friendships Shine in New Mutants #2
New Mutants #2 Jonathan Hickman (Writer), Travis Lanham (Letterer), Tom Muller (Designer), Rod Reis (Artist) November 27, 2019 This issue contains spoilers for New Mutants #2.
