Gene Luen Yang vaults into the adult space with Overrated, Book 1, the first in a trilogy of sci-fi graphic novels about a future where robots vastly outnumber human beings. With its blend of action and dark humor, Overrated is perfect for fans of Saga, Invincible, and Scott Pilgrim. 2006, Los Angeles. A golden age of low-rise jeans, flip phones, and reality TV. And Eujin “P-Flo” Perez is at the top of the pile. As the most famous hip-hop dancer in the world, Eujin is constantly surrounded by adoring, devoted fans—when he isn’t performing at sold-out arenas, he and his crew move from one party to the next, savoring the trappings of wealth and fame. Things couldn’t get much better. Until the day a mysterious woman tries to kill him, and the illusion of Eujin’s perfect life shatters. Forced on the run and struggling to separate truth from lies, Eujin soon discovers that the world he thought he knew is only an elaborate performance. In fact, robots make up 98 percent of the population, their only purpose to placate the few remaining humans with flattery and adulation. Now this bubble of blissful ignorance is threatening to burst, as a faction of malfunctioning robots seeks out and exterminates the human minority, one by one. Gene Yang’s signature mix of wry humor and sincere philosophical musings are on full display in this bloody, absurd, and wildly fun sci-fi trilogy.
