Symmetry

In a near-future world where a perfect, pacified society is maintained by a mandatory drug that suppresses human emotion, Symmetry (2015–2016, Image) explores the dark underbelly of a chemically enforced utopia. Written by Matt Hawkins with striking, atmospheric art by Raffaele Ienco, this eight-issue series follows a group of characters as they begin to question the cost of their emotionless existence. A thoughtful, visually rich sci-fi thriller, it matters for its incisive take on control, freedom, and what it means to feel.
