Doctors

In Dash Shaw's gripping graphic novel "Doctors," Dr. Cho possesses the revolutionary Charon device. It grants his team the extraordinary ability to venture into a deceased patient's afterlife as memories within their consciousness. With this power, they can revive the departed, albeit temporarily and at the cost of the team members' own lives.

When tragedy befalls Bell, her grieving daughter commissions Dr. Cho's assistance. However, a startling question arises: did Bell truly desire to return? The afterlife, shaped by the unconscious minds of the dying, offers a refuge or a torment, depending on their perceptions.

Shaw deftly intertwines sci-fi thrill, familial drama, and philosophical inquiry. As the team navigates the boundaries between consciousness and unconsciousness, they grapple with profound questions about the nature of life, death, and the line separating the two.

This masterful work showcases Shaw's exceptional storytelling and artistic prowess, inviting readers to ponder the complexities of existence and the ethical quandaries surrounding our attempts to control it.
