57 Years ago there was a ‘Robot Apocalypse’ which left humanity devastated. The descendants of the survivors strive to live in a post apocalyptic wasteland filled with the rusted remains of the robots, while pushing to rebuild humanity. Finding people these days is rare, but solo survivor Chris Swift soon discovered there was a lot more of humanity left than he originally thought.
The story so far....
Finding survivors these days is rare, but whilst on a general reconnaissance mission, Sofia Rodriguez stumbled upon solo survivor Chris Swift.
They very quickly found they had robot company and after some slick motorbike riding and swordplay, they managed to escape... but not without Chris being injured and losing consciousness.
He awoke from a coma to find he was at Sofia's 'Home' and that she was part of a very large community, that even included robots...
Set 57 years after a mysterious Robot invasion that resulted in the end of the world as we know it. Most of the population of the world has been wiped out, everything has changed but how do those left behind survive…We pick up after the events of issue 1 and learn a great deal more about the world and those that are left after the robot….apocalypse..
Thoughts….
What can I say about issue 2?.... Well… it's a great follow up to the first issue. This will be spoiler free so don’t worry. The setting is really expanded here, there is so much more going on than the first issue gave us, this is not your normal post apocalyptic world at all. Anyone that has read the first issue will know where that left off, and if you haven’t read it go get it. Not only do we learn more about “that situation” but a lot more about the overarching setting. What happened, where did they come from, whose fault was it, all the questions you want the answer to are right here but as always there are more questions that crop up as well.
A lot of work has gone into designing the characters both human and other, and there are some great new characters thrown into the mix as well, some really took me by surprise for sure. That same artistic styling is here from the first issue which I really like as it is refined and unique, making the whole thing just pop.
The humour is also there from the first issue and the little easter eggs are present as you look over the panels. There is an advert for Stinky Pickles Breakfast Bar, as another coming soon title like Fancy rock from issue 1, these advert pages would make really cool posters, if Keith needed a side hustle.
It's alway hard to do reviews without giving too much away but fans of the first series will really enjoy this 2nd outing as it gives a broader understanding of what has come before and sets up nicely what is to come ongoing. I’d give the 8 out of 10 as I did the first issue and I really can’t wait to see where we are being taken with this series
