This webcomic was a winner of the Prism Queer Comics Press Grant in 2012, and has completed two successful kickstarters. The main character is Alastair Sterling, an inventor who helped lay the foundations of the AI revolution through his brilliant work in robotics. Unfortunately, Alastair died before he could see his work completed. Sixteen years after his death Alastair wakes up in a robotic body that exactly matches his former human form. He seeks out Brendan Pinsky (his former research partner and boyfriend) looking for answers, but Brendan is at a loss- indeed, Alastair's reappearance nearly gives him a heart attack. The question of who granted Alastair this second life is one of the central mysteries of the unfolding story, as Alastair begins to re-learn how to navigate in a world that his work created. Gorgeously illustrated in near-monochromatic colors, this comic has high concepts, deep insight and a sweet humor. It is truly a human story.

Added in Feb 2021: re-read it for a second time now that I own the complete series, and can I just say the character of Brendan's trans robot daughter delights me even more now than it did when I read it the first time. I'm excited to revisit this story!
