Critics across the globe have lauded BOOM!'s graphic novel version of DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?:
"...impressively, it works... it's a great job." -- io9.com
"Best bet" -- MTV Splash Page
"...what a wonderful idea and fantastic way to introduce the work of Philip K. Dick to new readers... a great package, ideal for newcomers and fans alike."
-- Comic Book Resources
"...it works incredibly well ...." -- Fanboy Planet
"...it's going to be a treat. 4 out of 5. Check this out, especially if you're a fan of the novel, the movie, or Philip K. Dick." -- Comicvine.com
The first printing of issue #2 is written by Philp K. Dick with interior art by Tony Parker, colors by Blond, and includes backmatter by Matt Fraction and ships with two covers in a 50/50 split by Bill Sienkiewicz and Moritat.
DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? takes place in a world where San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. The World War has killed millions, driving entire species to extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remained coveted any living creature, and for people who couldn't afford one, companies built incredibly realistic fakes: horses, birds, cats, sheep... even humans. Rick Deckard is an officially sanctioned bounty hunter tasked to find six rogue androids -- they're machines, that not only look, sound, and think like humans, but are clever, and most of all, as dangerous as any human.
The original novel DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? was recently picked as one of "49 Books To Read" by Newsweek Magazine.

Though I immediately liked the idea of this comic, I have since stopped pre-ordering it. The art of Tony Lee is just not up to visualizing the grand and depressing vistas of the novel. However, I get depressed looking at the comic but not for the right reasons ...
