mysidI came across an AMAZING webcomic yesterday, Artifice. The main character, Deacon, is an "artificial person" (an adroid).
He was designed and programmed to be a super-soldier, but when the story begins, he's failed to carry out his orders and has to convince his superiors that he's salvagable. His orders were to kill all the colonists on a small mining colony, but his falling in love with one of the colonists, Jeff, created a bit of a dilemma.
The story shifts between his debriefing and flashbacks, and there's plenty of dramatic tension in each. The sex scenes are both sweet and hot--without being explicit. And the story raises more questions even as it answers some. And yes, the artwork is amazing. The artist, Winona Nelson, is a master of subtle facial expressions. (The writer is Alex Woolfson.)
The story is complete, so you don't have to fear the numerous cliffhangers.
Read Artifice. You'll be glad you did.
