Based upon an ingeniously simple, maddeningly clever - why didn’t I think of that? - concept, Erotech plugs a universal male fantasy into life in our time with hilarious results.

⚠️ Disclosure: This is a graphic novel with sexual themes and adult content. Please be aware of this before reading.

Bad bosses, crazy ex-coworkers, and sex robots. What could go wrong? 🤖🌶️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (3/5 Stars)

I picked up Erotech because the idea sounded completely crazy, and honestly, I wasn't really sure what I was going to get from it other than sex robots, and I laughed at it.The story, when reading it, made me think that we aren't too far away from something like this happening.

Also, the business side and seeing the greedy bosses out for themselves, treating employees like sh*t, and just thinking of the money is normal—so, not going to lie, that part was a little boring, but I do see the relevance to the story.

I thought this was an okay read. There were parts that I enjoyed and had a little chuckle at, and some moments that made me go "meh," but overall I didn't completely connect with the story or the characters. Yet, I do see the fun.

The idea behind it was probably my favourite part because it was different from what I normally read. I liked the strange situations the characters found themselves in, and there were times where I wanted to see where the story was going to go.

The ending left things on a little bit of a cliffhanger, which made me curious enough to continue if more are made.

The artwork also worked well with the story and helped with some of the more ridiculous moments; the groovy look on the sex doll made me laugh.That being said, there were parts where I felt the story could have been a little bit better developed.

I found myself enjoying certain sections more than others.I think this will definitely be one of those graphic novels that some people will really enjoy and others won't.

But spin the bottle and see what side you land on—and to be honest, I am kind of looking forward to seeing different reviews for this story.

If you're okay with the sexual content and want something a little strange and different, then this might be worth checking out.

Get drawn in by the sex bots, stay to see these turds get screwed over.

Erotech is in crunch time with the AI sex bot, and the small team is struggling to meet deadlines. For the team lead Samantha, everything seems to be falling apart and the higher ups seem out to get her. This is the story of Samantha's struggles in launching a safe product while dealing with greedy misogyny in the office that seems determined to make her the bad guy.

The first 30-40 pages of this are all set up and introducing you to the story at large, and because this first bit is doing a lot of heavy lifting it drags...hard. When Paul Taylor shows up, everything starts to get much better. Paul is the most scummy piece of corporate trash imaginable. The type that can talk for five hours and not say a dang thing, you know, a scumbag. Paul is the catalyst for the rest of Samantha's story, and from that point on I was invested in the her story.

One thing that I really found interesting about Erotech is that I found the artwork to be quite unpleasant but I think that worked. The artwork fit the themes of story so well and it helped keep the focus on the humans and consequences of the corporate greed and misogyny at play. Much like the story I didn't care for the art at first, but I found it to be so thematic that I really enjoyed it by the end.

I had a really good time reading Samantha's story. I only wished it had been more clear in the beginning and not so slow.

I RECOMMEND checking this one out.

Simultaneously funny and terrifying, this graphic novel perfectly describes so much of what drives society and tech companies.

EroTech is rushing to release their newest model sex robot, the 6000. There are major problems in the software and leadership is pushing the development team to deliver on time. We see misogynistic behavior when the leadership brings in a man to consult on the project and in the “boys” club that is privy to why the deadline is important.

As the team struggles to meet their deadline, it’s the female project manager who’s set up to take the fall despite a development team that doesn’t know the code base, refuses to follow her leadership, and is too caught up in trying to properly follow agile processes. The insistence on agile and having retrospectives at the expense of getting work done is likely to feel familiar to many. I also understand the frustration of trying to negotiate a feature set for a release. I couldn’t help but groan when they closed the bugs they weren’t going to address as being fixed.

At EroTech, everyone wants to get ahead and that creates a toxic culture full of backstabbing. I found the consultant to be a really slimy character even before he created his “leverage” but of course he gets off easy in the end considering his actions.

The artstyle wasn’t my favorite but it does a good job of mirroring the grittiness of the tech startup world and the plot.

Overall, this is probably not something I’m likely to recommend but it does what it sets out to do.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC!

I reserve my 2-star category for disappointments, and unfortunately, this graphic novel fits right in. There was a lot I liked, but the final 15% completely ruined my experience.

Please, take my review with a grain of salt. I'm by no means a graphic novel expert. I was intrigued by the theme, though. Since loving Annie Bot, I will pick up anything sounding even slightly similar.

The art style is definitely bold and full of contrast. It fit the story well and leaned into the whole uncanny valley theme. I wasn't the biggest fan of a lot of the text choices, though. Some of them were hard to read, like blocks of white text on a textured purple background, for example. I was able to read most of it on my phone, but when I got to the more complicated pages, I had to switch to my PC to be able to read everything, and it was still not easily legible.

I didn't really find any "jokes" per se, but in general, I liked the writing and story flow, and as a woman in corporate, I felt for Samantha greatly. I definitely saw some of the issues I battle in everyday life.

What completely lost me was the ending. It came out of nowhere and, in my opinion, didn't really make sense based on everything I'd read. It's like it was written by a completely different person. I surely expected more. I feel like I missed a whole chunk of the story.

A wickedly funny tech satire with real heart beneath the absurdity.

At first glance, EroTech sounds like pure, raunchy fun—a Silicon Valley startup trying to launch an overly ambitious sex robot. But underneath the wild premise and adult humor lies a surprisingly relatable and human workplace comedy.

Samantha Jenkins is an instantly empathetic lead. Watching her navigate impossible deadlines, quirky engineers, out-of-touch executives, and rampant office politics feels familiar to anyone who has ever tried to keep a chaotic project from going off the rails. It captures the modern dread and absurdity of corporate hustle culture while keeping the tone light, sharp, and genuinely funny.

The artwork by Geoffrey Krawczyk does a lot of heavy lifting here. The expressive character designs, great comedic timing, and stylish retro-pop color palette give the book a distinctive, lively pulse. Every panel keeps the energy moving without feeling overwhelming.

Bottom line: EroTech balances mature comedy with sharp social commentary on corporate life and tech culture. It’s an engaging, fast-paced read with genuine personality—perfect for fans of smart, boundary-pushing indie comics like Sex Criminals or Money Shot.

EroTech is written by Sean Haines, artwork by Geoffrey Krawczyk, and published by SHP Comics. The premise of the book is a tech company deals with an unstable shmex robot that they’re trying to sell. My first impression of the comic was great because of the artwork. The blues and purples gave it a futuristic but realistic vibe. I loved how the emotions of the characters were portrayed with colors. My favorite page is when Samantha pukes. Gross, I know. The artwork is sunning and filled with emotion.

I’m glad the author included the blatant misogyny in the tech industry. They wrote the female experience with depth. “More useful when it’s not getting forked” set the tone for all the men in the comic. Samantha was a strong female lead that dealt with the misogyny with grace. She was very easy to like and relate to. The only issue I had was another strong female character telling her “maybe you just haven’t found the right person yet”.

Overall, I think this comic would be perfect for audiences that enjoy reading something a little quirky and who are looking for a creative story & fabulous artwork.

This graphic novel just dives right on on the first page– quite literally. Within these mere 160 pages, we are taken on an adventure that ultimately gives us a scathing commentary of sketchy large corporations and artificial intelligence going rogue. The juxtaposition between this commentary under the facade of sexbots is truly witty. I love the color scheme and artistic style done by Geoffrey Krawczyk too. It lends to the dystopian, misogynistic corporate culture of EroTech. Unlike a lot of graphic novels I have read lately, this one is very heavy in the dialogue and there are larger blocks of text instead of only a sentence or two per page– which I enjoyed very much. It provided more depth to the story and gave me a clearer picture of what was going on with the plot.

Be sure to grab a copy when it’s released on October 22, 2026!

Thank you to Sean Haines, SHP Comics, & Independent Publishers Association (IBPA) for providing this eARC for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Prepare for a potent, 160-page graphic novel experience. This incisive narrative fearlessly dissects corporate overreach and rogue AI, all through the darkly comedic unraveling of a sexbot manufacturing empire. It's a genuinely witty and provocative satire, masterfully brought to life by Geoffrey Krawczyk's distinct, vibrant art, which perfectly encapsulates its oppressive, dystopian setting.

Far from a simple corporate jest, EroTech plunges into modern anxieties surrounding technology, sex, and automation, offering sharp dialogue and memorable characters. If you appreciate mature, edgy social commentary with bold humor, akin to titles like Money Shot or Sex Criminals, this adult graphic novel promises a thought-provoking, unsettling, and undeniably entertaining read. Recommended for readers 18 and older.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

As a reader who isn't intimidated by raunchy subject matter, the premise of this graphic novel immediately hooked me. I found this while casually scrolling through NetGalley's library and promptly downloaded it.

The combination of sex technology mixed with casual office drama/comedy worked wonderfully here. The gags were properly bonkers and the characters were entertaining. The visual style might not always work for modern audiences, but I really appreciated the retro feel to it, felt like a comic from the seventies (complimentary)! Occasionally, the dialogue got a little dry, but it didn't take long before the zaniness picked back up and I was having fun again. The most entertaining bits were the tests the company ran on sex robots for clients with different interests to varying levels of success.

Yessss bully more men in tech 🤩

A satirical workplace drama following employees of a start-up tech company, EroTech, that is in the final processes of development before launching a groundbreaking female sexbot. When team lead Samantha Jenkins raises concerns on the dangerous unpredictably of the sex bot, capitalist tech-industry hijinks ensue.

The art style was super cool; I liked the androgynous features of the characters, contrasted with the hyper-sexual femininity of the sexbot. The two-page spreads were gorgeous.

Narratively, was it perfect? No. Did I care? Not really. Funny, clever, and I’d love to see what’s next for Samantha (I hope it rhymes with shmesbian).

* Thank you NetGalley and SHP Comics for the ARC and my honest review *

I'm not sure how to feel about this comic, but I can, without a doubt, say that I enjoyed myself. Misogyny at it's peak. Women trying to run a tight ship and being reduced to "that time of month" when flustered or exhausted. Truly, a futuristic work of art. I felt irritated for Samantha, but loved her diligence to beat the system.
The art is chaotic, flowing with the emotional charge of each character. Dramatic situations felt 10 times heavier with some of the artistic directions made. It was like a fever dream.

Great work.

I received an ARC through NetGalley for an honest review.

I made it 58 pages before I DNF'd.

I have no issue adult content, but the humour and commentary are so juvenile and...pointless. I found the ignorance of lesbians as a market for sexbots amusing, but the character presented as sapphic, pushing for lesbian customers, and in a sapphic relationship randomly sleeping with her boss sat weirdly with me (by no means am I wishing to engage in bi erasure).

I just found this whole thing purile and ultimately pointless.

Disclaimer: I read the floppies.

I really enjoyed this book. I can see this becoming a show or movie. The comic follows a small company that’s working on sex robots. These sex robots are malfunctioning and becoming violent or just not knowing when to stop. There’s definitely a lot of funny situations that happen throughout the five issues. I would definitely recommend reading this one, it was a fun read.

A fun, adult comic that explores the workplace as well as our relationship with tech. The illustrations were very colorful and visually interesting. Samantha's character arc was satisfying as well as the ending of the comic. I would have happily read a longer comic on the subject or more comics set in the same universe with the same company/tech. The ending left that open and I would love to see more!

Okay this just wasn't for me. I felt the story was sometimes a bit confusing and I personally wasn't a huge fan of the artstyle. I think some of the jokes were witty though and it was a quick little story. Love that she got outta there fast though.

Yes, there are sex robots but it reads more like an episode of "prestige television" or whatever the hell those shows on HBO, or Apple, etc are called.
So come for the sexbots(?), but the story is what really shines.

Good read.
I didn't expect it to be anything sirious (that's on me for merely skiming description), but it certainly was, and lives up to what was promised in summary.
And was that an Ukrainian flag on one of the EroTech worker's laptop? It surely looked like it was.

Honestly tried to like the Samantha character and the whole story of figuring out to fix sex dolls but it was just so bland, boring and atrocious.

Got this via Netgalley and publisher for free!
