Universal Flaws of Robotics

by Ben Wright-Heuman (Editor/Contributor), Rainer Kannenstine (Editor/Contributor), J.M. Hunter (Cover Art)

The smell of iron emanates from blood, and humanity has always tried to purge it. We have fought, we have created, and we have seen ourselves in our creation, a hazy mirror reflecting what we choose to ignore. In an iron face, we see the best and worst of mankind: the search for connection, the kindness, the grace ... but also cold detachment, cruelty, and love distorted through metallic shine. For years we have dreamed of the final version of this mirror, the ultimate simulacrum of humanity: we have dreamed of robots.

UNIVERSAL FLAWS OF ROBOTICS is a comics anthology collecting 19 stories all about automata. Our amazing team of creators have spun electric dreams of romance, adventure, horror, humor, and more. Dive in, and discover that no two robots are built quite the same.
