Veda: Assembly Required

In this 2015 one-shot from Dark Horse, writer and artist Hyeondo Park introduces Veda, a synthetic being navigating a world that treats her as a machine rather than a person. The issue explores themes of identity and autonomy through a quiet, introspective lens, distinguished by Park's detailed, atmospheric artwork. As a standalone debut, Veda: Assembly Required sets the stage for a series that examines what it means to be human from an outsider's perspective.
