But Lacy’s mysterious and possessive creator, Mister, is close on her heels—and he’ll go to any lengths to get her back.

Beautiful VERY short read. It plays with a lot of the dystopian future what-ifs and considerations: i.e. AI prostitutes, AI rights/freedoms, what is a human/what is AI, etc.
The lead is a new kind of AI since she has an empathy upgrade, which allows her to track/diagnose pleasure back to her customers, as well as learn from each experience.
GORGEOUS sci fi classic comic book artwork and aesthetic, they even have the newspaper print colored dots which I like *nostalgic vibes (artist: Priscilla Petraites)
note: I read it in the smaller comic book sized chunks, to make up the "vol 1"

After reading this I was ashamed to be a man. Other than that, the series was pretty good.

This started off with promise. The problem is, it is too short. This should have been told over six or more issues. Because of the length, this loses character development. I don't think the artwork conveys the vastness of the setting. With one issue left, I have my doubts that it can be satisfactorily wrapped up in just 28 pages.
