THE JOSHUA COMPLEX-AJ Larson
As we enter the age of Artificial Intelligence, the lines between programmed emotions and real ones can easily become blurred.
UPGRADE-Daniel Soule
Sometimes, the infections a person can get are not the kind that simply cause an itch, especially when technology is involved...
A QUESTION OF BELONGING-Karen Heslop
For some, losing themselves in a good book is an escape, but for others with special abilities, it can actually become reality.
VOLTAGE FIGHTER ARGENT: "POWERLESS"-Trey McIntosh

What an excellent first issue! The stories were interesting, fun and definitely page turners.
Some of my favourite stories:
"The Joshua Complex" - I'm a sucker for AI stories and this one was a very emotional one: I have to admit I shed a tear.
"Dr. Foster" - A beautifully written sci-fi story about a doctor who contacts the aliens and ends up spending years on their ship traveling to different galaxies. An excellent twist at the end.
"Project A.E.O." - Another AI story. This was a fun and exciting read, highly unexpected.
"In Glass" - Also an AI story. Very well written, a tad emotional. Love the descriptions of the city.
"Voltage Fighter Argent: ‘Powerless’" - This fantasy story was fast-paced and fun. Any story that includes beings with superpowers is a win-win for me.
There wasn't one story that I didn't like in this issue. I only mentioned the ones above because they're the ones that stood out the most for me.
Looking forward to reading issue 2...

"In Glass" by Richard M. Ankers was the best story by far. Easily a five star read.
