The setting for this comic is set after the events of the book Altered Carbon but the reader doesn’t need to have read the book or watched the series on Netflix to understand what is going on in the comic. The far future allows people to send their conscious across the stars and house them in clone bodies. Takeshi Kovacs is brought by the cops to use his info about being a former Protectorate soldier, he is only doing it in order to have his assault charges dropped from a bar fight. Things go south quickly, and he is drawn into solving to mystery. A good intro to this story universe and now I want to read more.
