RAND\\n
Absolution / Sacrament trades\\n
Writer: Peter Milligan\\n
Artist: Mike Deodato, Jr. / Marcelo Frusin\\n
Publisher: AWA\\n
Cover Price: $9.99 / $9.99\\n
Release Date: 1.18.23 / 2.15.23\\n
Vertigo mainstay Milligan has two new SF graphic novels. Absolution is a fantastic and exciting take on our obsession with violence, social media, and (in this case literal) cancel culture, using the Catholic notion of absolution as a potent metaphor. Sacrament is more overtly theological (with a major emphasis on demon possession and exorcism) and explores the persistence of Christianity in humanity\'s post-Earth future. Both have solid artwork from Milligan\'s prior collaborators.\\n
