Rounding up on the assumption that the last panel is as nefarious as it sounds.
“The Blessed Machine” is dystopian sci-fi in the vein of “Silo”, where society has moved underground for well over a hundred years as the result of environmental destruction on the surface. A single A.I., Djinn, directs life in the colony, handling maintenance bots and maintaining systems ... but things are slowly degenerating. Jacob, the son of a council member, has dreams of plants growing on the surface, despite Djinn’s assurance that temperatures there are still much too warm.
The art and storytelling are a little clunky, but I still enjoyed myself for the length.
