IS TED OK TP (30 Sep Release)

This is a story about Ted and Sarah. Ted¸ isolated and paranoid¸ works for a mega-corporation owned by the world's only trillionaire. He suffers from night terrors¸ obsessively draws the same mysterious figures again and again¸ all while listening to one track of music on repeat—oh¸ and the only "person" he ever talks to is a stray cat. His humanity is hanging by a thread. Sarah is a new arrival to the city¸ fighting her own demons¸ and her job is to remotely spy on Ted to ensure he doesn't hurt anyone...or himself. When Ted's mental state begins to crack¸ Sarah compassionately intervenes to help¸ and things go catastrophically wrong. IS TED OK? mashes up the paranoid existentialism of SEVERANCE with the cosmic sci-fi of AKIRA while exploring what happens when the act of help goes horribly wrong. From creator Dave Chisholm (SPECTRUM¸ MILES DAVIS & THE SEARCH FOR THE SOUND)¸ Is Ted OK? is a spectacularly unpredictable yarn—each successive issue shatters the scope of the previous¸ all without losing its core: a search for human connection in an oppressive¸ paranoid world.
