IDW Publishing is adding the thrilling new creator-owned science-fiction miniseries, BOY-1, to their hit list of summer releases.

Penned by writer and creator HS Tak and vividly rendered by artist Amancay Nahuelpan, BOY-1 captures the futuristic journey of a man who discovers he is the subject of a groundbreaking experiment that spins out of control and soon threatens the extinction of all mankind. With nations hunting him as they struggle to maintain order, every move he makes comes with a thousand repercussions.

BOY-1 is set in a world after the completion of The Human Genome Project heralds a new age in science, medicine, and technology, but any form of human cloning has been deemed incompatible with society’s standard of ethics.

It then goes on to explore what could happen if a group of intrepid researchers didn’t listen…

BOY-1 is also being developed for television by Scripted World (Alon Aranya and Rob Golenberg), the producers behind Hostages and Betrayal.

Look for BOY-1 coming from IDW this August with stunning covers by Zach Howard and Amancay Nahuelpan as Scripted World targets a network TV launch in 2016.
