“Clone” takes the form of a classic conspiracy thriller with a science-fiction twist, in which the ethos of “trust no one” is extended to include even oneself. “My inspirations were ’24’ and ‘Three Days of the Condor,'” Schulner told CBR. “High octane, action-packed conspiracy thrillers, where one guy finds himself in the middle of something much larger and dangerous than he ever thought possible. Luke Taylor is our lead. He’s an average guy, who starts the issue looking at himself in the mirror and being disappointed in what he sees. Within minutes, a clone of himself shows up on his doorstep bleeding from a gunshot wound, saying, ‘They’re coming for you.'”

Luke is quickly embroiled in a conspiracy reaching reaching as far as the White House. The government, attempting to destroy all traces of their cloning project, has found itself countered by an activist group trying to protect the remaining clones. Meanwhile, Luke’s pregnant wife has been kidnapped and her unborn child may hold the key to successful human cloning. “Then there’s Luke himself who is forced to confront the different clones of himself and witness their strength, courage and intelligence and realize that those qualities are within him as well.”

I’m adding this to my pull list mainly because I’m a huge Jose Ryp fan and I’m also very interested in this concept. What if you could know a different version of yourself in real life? There really seem to be a lot of possibilities that are cool concepts with this miniseries that ships in November, so be sure to add it to your pull list!
