Ryan Parrott and Eleonora Carlini's Vicarious is a new sci-fi comic from Boom Studios for October described as Saltburn meets Eat The Rich. Previously, both worked extensively for Boom Studios on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic books at the publisher.
"There are some ideas that get stuck in your head, and you just keep coming back to them over and over again," said Ryan Parrott. "What would it be like to be able to see through someone else's eyes and feel what they feel? How would that kind of technology change the world? Who would use it, who wouldn't and why? It was just a notion when I first pitched it to BOOM! Studios, but with their guidance and Eleonora Carlini's amazing artwork, Vicarious has turned into a sexy, futuristic neo noir that deals with identity, duality and the value of our lives and experiences."
"The idea that someone can live and see through my eyes fascinates and disturbs me at the same time and Ryan was able to tell it very well!" said Eleonora Carlini. "Kept these feelings in mind and I pushed the aesthetics into grotesque and linear graphic codes, trying to give the pages a freshness and the immediacy that could give the sensation of a trip into another person's experience."
