Not All Robots #1

Not All Robots #1

by Mark Russell

In the year 2056, robots have replaced human beings in the workforce. An uneasy co-existence develops between the newly intelligent robots and the ten billion humans living on Earth. Every human family is assigned a robot upon whom they are completely reliant. What could possibly go wrong? Meet the Walters, a human family whose robot, Razorball, ominously spends his free time in the garage working on machines which they're pretty sure are designed to kill them in this sci-fi satire from Mark Russell (The Flintstones, Second Coming) and Mike Deodato Jr. (The Amazing Spider-Man,The Resistance).

Good first issue! Reminded me of a less serious iRobot. Curious to see what happens in issue 2.

[Charles · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well drawn but not especially interesting, this is a muddled take on - capitalism, prejudice, etc. - that makes fairly shallow points yet seems to feel it's profound. The characters - human and robot - are bland and underdeveloped, there more to make the author's points than because they have inner lives to be revealed.

Liked the premise, though I thought the characters could use more development. Would read the next issue!

For a 5 issue series this started off real slow. The issue was too philosophical and boring, but the later issues could pick-up. I will give issue #2 a try.
