BrainBanx is a six-issue

Jason Temujin Minor, the title narrates the tale of the red-headed Anna Elysian, a telepathic

intelligence operative working undercover in a distant future world.

Plot synopsis

Anna is a 'Mount' which means that she is an agent who shares her body and her

life-support

tanks administered by the galactic government. In Anna's case, she is joined with Ellis Shepherd (or 'Shep') a former employee of the Organic Ranching Corporation (ORC) who has fled his position upon discovering evidence of certain prohibited cross-breeding experiments that ORC had been performing with sheep.

As the series unfolds, Anna uncovers illegal plans to grow human brains in the bodies of animals and must also reconcile her emerging feelings for Shep with whom she shares her mind and body.

Themes

In her foreword to the series, Elaine Lee described her wish to focus on human relationships in the title:

...Science fiction is at its best when it offers us new ways to look at our problems. It is silliest when it offers too many (or too simple solutions). Then it is simply an allegory..... or worse propaganda..... My very favourite thing is the relationship between men and women, and putting one of each into the same mind with no means of escape, is a way of exploring that relationship.
— Elaine Lee, BrainBanx #1, p.31, Mar. 1997
