App Description
Within minutes you'll understand why Upgrade Soul was named one of the "Top 10 Digital Comics of 2012" by Pipedream Comics, and why 148Apps called it "...glorious to read through and interact with." It simply feels, looks and sounds like no other story on the iPad or iPhone. Written and illustrated by Ezra Claytan Daniels.“Gripping science fiction... an enchanting read.” —MacLife
With fluid navigation, interactive 3D and dynamic music, Upgrade Soul tells the story of Hank and Molly Nonnar, wealthy science buffs who decide to fund a risky, experimental therapy to rejuvenate the human body, with only one condition: that they be first in line to receive it. When dangerous complications develop... the battle for psychological dominance begins.

Upgrade Soul was built using our new Opertoonity™ engine for digital comics that complements the reading experience with fluid navigation, interactive 3D, and dynamic music. Panels slide and reshape effortlessly as you swipe your way through the story—while the quirky, rich, and interactive musical score follows every gesture you make.
Each chapter is about 1/2 the length of a typical comic book, and enhanced with interactive music and 3D effects. Chapter 1 is included; other chapters available via in-app purchase. Chapters 2-4 can be unlocked immediately; the rest (18 in all) will be released roughly monthly. If you like what you see, consider preordering through Chapter 6—you'll save 30%!
