New Ryan Parrot Series ‘Vicarious’ Announced by BOOM!
BOOM! Studios announced Vicarious, a new sci-fi psychological thriller from writer Ryan Parrott and artist Eleonora Carlini. Vicarious #1 will hit shelves October 16, 2024 with a main cover by Dan Panosian, and variants by Reiko Murakami, and Rebeca Puebla.
"There are some ideas that get stuck in your head and you just keep coming back to them over and over again,” said series writer and co-creator Ryan Parrott. “What would it be like to be able to see through someone else's eyes and feel what they feel? How would that kind of technology change the world? Who would use it, who wouldn't and why? It was just a notion when I first pitched it to BOOM! Studios, but with their guidance and Eleonora Carlini's amazing artwork, Vicarious has turned into a sexy, futuristic neo noir that deals with identity, duality and the value of our lives and experiences."
The publisher shared more on what readers can expect from the series:
Justin is your average 20-something burnout–no real connections with anyone or prospects on his horizon. But, after a dangerous encounter reveals itself as a fortuitous opportunity, Justin finds just what his life has been missing in the secret world of Proxies–young, attractive, ambitious hustlers like himself who allow the rich access to their feelings and experiences through a cutting edge technological implant.
Does Justin have what it takes to make it in this seductive new world?
