About the series
Set in a near-future where people interact with society through lifelike robotic avatars, The Surrogates is a five-issue cyber-noir miniseries from Top Shelf. Written by Robert Venditti with moody, watercolor-style art by Brett Weldele, the story follows a detective investigating a murder that strikes at the heart of the surrogate technology. Its gritty, philosophical take on identity and technology helped establish Venditti as a rising voice in comics.
