Always Human

Ari North's Always Human (2020–present, Little Bee Books) is a gentle, near-future romantic drama that follows two young women navigating love, identity, and the quiet complexities of a world where biotechnology can alter everything from appearance to ability. Known for its soft, expressive digital art and tender character-driven storytelling, the series has earned a devoted readership for its nuanced portrayal of a same-sex relationship and its thoughtful exploration of disability, autonomy, and acceptance. Though only a single issue has been released so far, the series' warm, introspective tone marks it as a standout in contemporary slice-of-life comics.
