Welcome to the Future, Mankind! Your services will no longer be required…
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).
Writer: Mark Russell
As riots continue pitting humans against droids, the Ruling Council decide to launch the Mandroids. As perfect replications of any human they quickly quell the riots, but at what cost? the robots are now obsolete and feel the same stresses that the humans felt. At the Walter household, Snowball is more depressed than ever and one of the neighbours has ordered a Mandroid that looks very much like a member of the family.
Russell’s dry humoured script may need to be classed as a fire risk as the painful wit examines current social and financial inequalities while a small elite rise above and control all.
Artist: Mike Deodato
Deodato’s stunning artwork pairs perfectly with Russell’s sarcastic script. As I’ve said before his ability to humanise blank face robots shows an artist at the top of his game. Like any great artwork, many don’t comment on it as it’s expected to be amazing but this really shows his talents to the full.
Overall Thoughts
Another great issue in this five-issue series, with the introduction of the androids it creates a three-class system as well as shows humanity’s ability to be distracted by the newest shiny object. If this is our future many will think we deserve it.
