HUMAN NATURE (2024)

Double issue! Mini-Series Premiere! From Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel-the writer-producer-director team behind the Oscar award-winning Black Swan and instant classics The Fountain and Mother!-along with Jeff Welch comes a social satire of a bizarre yet fathomable future. Drawn by comic book industry giant Martín Morazzo, Human Nature follows the ego-maniacal, Nebraska-based chicken magnate Duke. Duke has almost all the world's resources at his disposal. Once a lowly everyday man, Duke managed to work (and intimidate) his way into an endless fortune. However, even though he has almost everything, there's one thing even the richest man in the world can't buy: immortality. Or can he? Find out how a wealthy, lonely man tries to scheme his way into beating death, and the earth-shattering consequences of his actions!

The chicken magnate Duke thought he had it all -- more money and power than one man could ever deserve. But when he's diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, he finally realizes the road to all the wealth he's accumulated is quite lonely. Desperate to evade death, the Duke schemes his way into acquiring cryogenic technology. As he prepares for the inevitable, he makes a startling discovery: he has a daughter named Pembroke! After a failed attempt to connect with her, Duke finally succumbs to death's cruel hand and his body is preserved.

This Place Is a Zoo! The former chicken magnate Duke is in for a rude awakening. After he dies from an inoperable brain tumor, Duke's body is preserved with cryogenic technology. An unknown amount of years later, Duke is revived only to discover he's trapped in a human zoo ran by floating eye ball creatures called the Keepers! Clearly no longer on Earth and with only the company of others who were cryogenically preserved and revived, will Duke be able to escape this strange compound?
