A good Robocop comic 23 years after the original film? I’ll buy that for a dollar.
I mean no offense to Dynamite or the creators involved in this book, but I just didn’t expect it to be good. It just didn’t seem possible. If given the opportunity, I will buy everyone that had a hand in this book a drink, because they certainly proved me wrong.
Everything you’d expect in a good Robocop story is here. Writer Rob Williams makes sure to include over-the-top violence, malfunctioning ED-290s, a biting sense of satire, and of course, Murphy’s struggle to figure out who/what he is. All that, and he has set up a story arc that I am very excited to continue reading.
All of these elements are presented to you by artist Fabiano Neves. His art was well-suited to the book and his story-telling was spot-on. His Old Detroit looked run-down and grimy, and the panel-to-panel and scene-to-scene transitions were smooth. And he draws some great gunshot wounds too!
I really hope this book continues as strong as it started, and that it finds a supportive audience. This great #1 deserves your attention.
Art: 4 - Very Good
