Overview
For teenager Bobby Park, the only thing worse than his acne and social outcast status is accidentally unlocking a superior alter ego who vies for control over his body...
From the writer of Made in Korea, Jeremy Holt, with manga artist Chong Hou, comes a new hero in the DC Universe who must balance his falling grades, a love triangle he never expected, and a neighborhood that needs his help more than ever! Can he juggle it all while getting along with the new face he sees every time he looks in the mirror?
Sixteen-year-old Bobby Park is a devoted son, helping at his immigrant parents’ laundromat business in Central City’s Koreatown. Despite their modest income, Bobby’s genius-level aptitude for science and biology earns him a full scholarship to an elite academy, but after a racially charged attack puts his father in the hospital, his stress and anxiety manifest as painful acne that detracts from all his joy and pride. Frustrated by failed attempts to cure his acne and tired of dissociating to tolerate his life, he takes matters into his own hands, concocting his own serum using the academy’s state-of-the-art facilities.
The trial medication is an instant success but comes at a great cost. The now acne-free Bobby is haunted by the new reflection of an alter ego named Atlas Ahn, a muscled extrovert with catalog-model features–the exact opposite of how Bobby has ever seen himself. And when an attack at the academy leaves Bobby critically wounded, the two personalities come together to unwittingly unleash a hulking monster with superhuman durability, strength, and size alteration, known as Gemini.
