C-23

C-23 is a dystopian sci-fi series from Image Comics, launched in 1998 and running for eight issues. Set in a future where human cloning is the norm, it follows the story of a clone soldier designed for combat who begins to question his purpose. The series is most associated with writers Jeff Mariotte and Denisse Chong, and artists Alexander Lozano, Adam Warren, and Alex Ross, whose combined talents gave the book a striking, cinematic visual identity. Though short-lived, C-23 stands out as a thoughtful, action-driven exploration of identity and free will within a corporate-controlled world.
