Alex + Ada was another table top find. I am not sure which patron has such good taste in graphic novels but I thank them.

The story is about a man name Alex who is depressed with his life. His girl friend left him and he is just drifting along. That is until his very rich grandmother decides what he needs is an advanced android he calls Ada. Most androids are perfectly fine and get along well with humanity as long as they aren't sentient.
Despite having Ada in his life Alex feels like he is talking to a toaster. So he looks into how to make her more alive.

Alex + Ada has a nice storyline too it, though it is simplistically illustrated. If movies are any indication, trying to make an android realer is a bad idea, so it will be interesting to see where this story will go.
