If your mind were uploaded to a computer, would you still be considered a person? Debut creators Alex Paknadel and Eric Scott Pfeiffer pose this question and more in the upcoming sci-fi thriller series Arcadia from BOOM! Studios this May.

When 99% of humankind is wiped out by a pandemic, four billion people are “saved” by being digitized at the brink of death and uploaded into Arcadia, a utopian simulation in the cloud. But when Arcadia begins to rapidly deplete the energy resources upon which the handful of survivors in the real world (aka “The Meat”) depends, how long will The Meat be able—and willing—to help?

Arcadia #1 arrives in comic shops on May 6th with the first of a five-part connecting main cover by Matt Taylor for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code MAR151040. Also available in a limited quantity are a 10 Years incentive cover by Frazer Irving, and a retailer incentive cover by series artist Eric Scott Pfeiffer. A new cover by W. Scott Forbes has been added to the Final Order Cutoff (FOC) deadline, and it can be ordered in any quantity.
