Bad Reception

In this taut 2019–2020 AfterShock series, a young couple's high-tech smart home becomes a prison of paranoia when its digital systems begin to malfunction—or are they being manipulated? Artist Juan Doe brings a stark, moody visual style to this 5-issue thriller, which explores how our reliance on connected devices can turn our own sanctuaries against us. It's a compact, unsettling meditation on privacy and control in the modern age.
