Machine-heads


The Joplin Independent likes Robotika:

"While geneticists enhanced humans in previously undreamt of ways, other scientists focused on machines, raising them to a near human level."

Bingo.

What they actually got in Robotika was neither human machines nor enhanced humans. They got nightmares in a fast-paced, intriguing new comic book series from cartoonist Alex Sheikman and crew. And those organic and non-organic altered and unaltered beings are at war.

There's nothing new in that premise. Weird thingies have been at war since the science-fiction genre began more than 100 years ago. What is new is a fascinating mix of prose and art styles. Robotika is a well-written and drawn, wild romp through a futuristic world of meddling scientists, bizarre creatures, and battling Samaria
