The Matrix meets The Wizard of Oz in BEYOND REAL: The Complete Series, a mind-bending psychedelic journey through the nature of reality - and who we really are.
QUESTION REALITY.
When struggling artist June is injured in a severe car accident that leaves her boyfriend in a coma, she begins to experience strange visual phenomena. When June discovers that the world she considers "reality" may be a computer simulation, she must set out on a journey of possibility and peril into the metaphysical layers of the simulation to reach the world's creator and save her true love from death.
Beyond Real explores simulation theory, the creative spirit, the nature of reality, and the struggle for self-determination.
Are we real - or are we living in a computer simulation?
What is reality? Is death an illusion?
Enter the world that is ... Beyond Real.
Beyond Real, written by Zack Kaplan (MINDSET from Vault Comics) is joined by a slate of spectacular artists including Fabiana Mascolo, Toni Fejzula, Jordie Bellaire, Vincenzo Riccardi, Dennis Menheere, Jorge Corona, and Liana Kangas.
