BOOM! Studios really knows how to handle their licensed properties. They are killing it with their titles from the works of Clive Barker, and Robocop is proving to be no exception. This is thanks to writer, Joshua Williamson. He’s able to tackle the character in a way that feels like an extension of the first film, more so than the sequels ever did. I mean he captures the true grit and insanity made possible by the premise but also finds a deeper emotional core to the character. Our own Eric Swizter has been a big fan of the series since issue one, saying “a book that doesn’t slow down or break character for a single panel. Consistent in tone and style, this may be one of the most seamless and successful continuations of a franchise I’ve ever seen. The geniuses behind this book have managed to recreate the exquisite experience of watching “Robocop” for the first time. I sincerely hope it never ends.”
