“Zombies vs. Robots” is one hell of a title. It celebrates the freedom of the medium with its insane premise and builds into something emotional and dynamic. We had awesome things to say about issue #1 “Zombies vs. Robots may have started the strange mashup genre, and even won an Eisner for its efforts, but with this issue the creative team are reminding us that silly is only a jumping off point. There’s limitless potential when you really think about the consequences of bizarre pairings like zombies and robots. The art is expressive and vibrant, equally portraying the inorganic robots and the, erm, extra organic zombies as characters, occasionally suggesting the potential of sentience. It’s realistic and not cartoony, which lends to the serious and critical tone of this ridiculously-premised book. The color palette is what really cements the post-apocalyptic tone.”
Now, check out this exclusive preview of Zombies vs Robots #4 before it hits stands next week. Sounds like things are only going to get more crazy.
