About Upgrade Soul
Revisit the most acclaimed sci-fi graphic novel of 2018 the way it was designed to be read! Originally conceived as an immersive digital comic, the print edition of Upgrade Soul (2018, Lion Forge), was named one of the best graphic novels of 2018 by Publishers Weekly, Paste, The Library Journal, Vulture, and more. Winner of the Dwayne McDuffie Award and nominated for Eisner, Harvey, Ringo, and Ignatz Awards, Upgrade Soul is an unforgettable story made even more unforgettable by the technology you hold in your hand.
Written and illustrated by Ezra Claytan Daniels (BTTM FDRS), Upgrade Soul tells the story of Hank and Molly Nonnar, wealthy science buffs who decide to fund a risky, experimental therapy to rejuvenate the human body, with only one condition: that they be first in line to receive it.
The uniquely immersive Upgrade Soul app complements the reading experience with:
• Smooth, seamless navigation
• Native multi-panel experience without awkward panning and zooming
• Interactive 3D picture-box effects throughout
• Dynamic score by acclaimed composer Alexis Gideon that you perform as you read
• Great experience when mirrored to Apple TV
• Behind the scenes extras and unlockable content coming soon

Act Two begins! Chapter 7 included in this update for FREE as a thank you to our fans!
We're making some changes to how we produce each chapter in order to speed up our release schedule—for details, see the message that appears when you launch the app.
Synopsis of Chapter 7: The Nonnars and their counterparts struggle in their own ways with the "new normal," and we witness the chance meeting that ultimately snowballed into Hank's involvement with Via.
Also, the app isn't such a space hog anymore! We've made chapters individually downloadable, and optimized assets for iPhone and iPad so you don't have to use up any more room on your device than you need to.
