Illustrated by
Wilfred Santiago.
Goth teen Sophie Blue lost her father, possibly to evil scientists, maybe to the "other woman"; she also could be delusional. Readers proceed from chapter none to chapter twenty, take a comic-strip break, then return from twenty to none. This funhouse mélange of action-adventure, romance, and dystopian science fiction also includes social commentary about the global economy, consumerism, and bio-engineering.
