"Made in Korea is the best comic book we've read in the last decade." —Portland Mercury
New York Public Library Best New Comics of 2022 for Adults
A Korean nine-year-old named Jesse is adopted and sent to live with a lovely couple in America. Equipped with a seemingly encyclopedic brain but socially awkward, the young girl’s journey through the complexities of race, gender, and identity hits a fork in the road when she discovers she’s not entirely human…yet. Adolescence just got a lot more emotional for the world’s first true A.I. system.

"Holt folds in their own background as a Korean-born, nonbinary, transracial adoptee, brilliantly melding identity issues with speculative AI enhancement. Brazilian, Barcelona-based Schall’s art provides an ideal, exacting visualization of Holt’s new world." * Booklist (starred review) *
"When Made in Korea released its first issue last year, it was the only time I’d ever given a book a rating of six-out-of-five." * Portland Mercury *
“Impeccably crafted.” * AIPT *
"Visually striking... there’s much to chew on in a cool package for philosophical sci-fi fans." * Publishers Weekly *
“With perfect pacing and absolutely gorgeous artwork, Made In Korea is highly recommended.” -- Brian K. Vaughan (Saga)
“A fantastic opening salvo.” * ComicBook.com *
“Like the best Black Mirror episodes... Holt and Schall have created something special.” -- Nick Spencer (The Fix)
"Classic SF premise (AI as human) with a very modern feel, elegant art and damn fine lettering. A compelling book." -- Kurt Buiek (Astro City)
