"I haven’t always been a writer. My parents are writers and my brother is a writer, and I resisted that as long as I could. When I was 17, I hopped in a band’s van and I went on tour for a summer, and that was it, that was what I wanted to do. I ran a record label for 10 years, a small indie punk label. I did everything in music that you can do that doesn’t involve having musical ability. Eventually the music business, probably in a similar way to comics, will just start to break your heart, and I realized one day that I kind of hated music. I was resigned to thinking, if I’m going to be involved in music forever, I’m going to hate it for the rest of my life. I just stopped. I stopped having any sort of business with music, any involvement.

I read comics my whole life, so I just naturally fell back into another medium that is marginalized and hard to make a living in."

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the arc!

I’ve been reading a lot lately about robots, but honestly, the conscience question is one that is still unanswered and therefore I can read quite more about it yet. And, if there is a robot to question those things, an robotic Abraham Lincon feels fitting.

I love the art style. The noir vibes fit so incredibly and the colors help so much to bring the story to life.

The notion that humans are the scary ones… pretty fucking cool. Overall, very cool and I'm excited for the next volume.

[Machiavelli]

What a debut! Humanity is gone and the Earth’s dominant species are the various machines left behind, autonomous robots simply trying to fulfill their intended purpose and go about their day-to-day lives. But not Abe, a robotic Abraham Lincoln who can’t shake the feeling there has to be something more. The Rosenbergs take what sounds like a gimmick and turn it into something genuinely moving. These robots aren’t developing god complexes or homicidal rage, they curse, they joke, they follow routines, and they think about what the future holds. That scene with the Breakfast Bot talking about the family it used to serve hit me completely out of nowhere. MacDonald’s art and world is stunning, Segala’s colors find warmth in a cold mechanical landscape, and the patience of a team that has been building this for four years is visible on every page. This is really different and really special. Can’t wait for more. 4.5⭐️

Major thanks to Image Comics and NetGalley for this ARC!

Dude this is fucking awesome. What’s the word for this, is this cyberpunk? Retro-cyberpunk? Moody and meaningful and really visually stunning– great use of colors, very easy to tell what’s going on in each panel, great robot designs. Beautiful, and I mean *beautiful,* backgrounds and architecture.

I freaking love these robots, man. These are some *really* likeable robots. I just wish I could read the rest of the story already!! I put this volume on my wishlist; I’m looking forward to holding it in my hands.

[Fines Massey]

Great first issue. Lots of world building and mystery set up. Can't wait for issue 2! Very interesting concept so far.

[Rebeca]

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an arc :)

This books follows the premise of all humans being extinct except for one and when I first started reading it I wasn't sure how exactly they were going to tackle it, but the end result was one of my favourites! The main character isn't the human, instead it's a humanoid robot that yearns to know the human, becaus ethe other robots don't fully understand him, even though he is one of them. It introduces one of my favourite dynamics in books with the old robot trying to make friends with the very relluctant human girl. The possibilities for found family are endless. The other robots are fun too, but I hope they get more in depth explorations in future volumes because they were not really the focal point here. I'm also really curious on the backstory of all of it, like how exactly did the humans die and why did this one survive? Are there other humanoid robots like our main character? Maybe there's a whole series of them, all based on historical figures.
Anyhow, this was a good time!

[Cybernex007]

What a fantastic start, and only after did I realize one of the writers, Matthew Rosenberg, was the same writer for we’re taking everyone down with us…no wonder I enjoyed this so much! Amazing writers and an even better art team make for a great combo in this extra size first issue to really throw us right into this brilliant world. This takes place in a world run by robots as humans supposedly no longer exist, but what are the robots to do once there are no more humans? Continue what they were programmed to do of course. But what if there was one to challenge this notion, everyone would hate him for it and maybe they would also hate him because he was a robot designed to look like Ol' Honest Abe Lincoln. Day in and day out he stands on a street corner trying to give speeches to the robots who absolutely despise him passing by. Trying to use the wise words of Lincoln he was programmed with to show them that there is more to their existence than toiling away with the same objectives they were given from birth. But time comes for us all, especially when a robot society is built on continuing the status quo and maintenance is not prioritized alongside the resources needed to support it. So today Abe began to fail during one of his speeches, his circuits started to fry and smoke as his head fell down and landed perfectly on his pointed finger to click something in his eye…as if a hidden button was placed there? The other very non human looking robots are confused and have already called maintenance to take a look at him, but then Abe sputters back to life and continues his speech…only to be knocked out when one of the other robots threw some scrap metal at his head.

Abe woke up to find a small home helper robot with a cute eyes and eyebrow display for a face as it wants to know if he is interested in breakfast. Abe asks when the last time is anyone said yes…at first the robot doesn’t understand the nature of the question as it hears the word “yes” and other affirmative answers quite frequently. But Abe meant when the last time is someone asked for breakfast as robots don’t eat and that’s all that is left. The little robot talks about a family it was apart of that would say yes to breakfast every morning…but that was “31,755 breakfasts ago,” nearly 87 years. The robot seems disheartened to remember seeing them taken away as it was still cooking their eggs inside its body. But the robot is curious why Abe would ask that, burnt ultimately goes back to his point of this world…everything seems to futile and he just wants to make them feel things but no one can feel and he can see this little robot is dealing with the same thing. Abe gives speeches everyone hates and this robot makes food no one eats. And yet they both want something, as this little robot is just hoping a bums will appear to order breakfast. Accidentally Abe just granted this little robot’s wish as it took his order for breakfast and began cooking inside its body. Unfortunately this little robot hasn’t made something in a long time and suddenly begins to smoke from a minor malfunction. At that point the maintenance called for earlier shows up…except maintenance here takes the form of a giant red, almost slug like creature, with one large red eye and a storage pack on it’s back as it sloths around. But it’s not here to offer assistance, anything malfunctioning is taken in by the tendrils coming from its mouth as it proceeds to rip the little robot apart and chew it up, more than likely for parts. The robot is able to spit out toast before being fully destroyed, its last words reflecting its regret for not doing more to save its humans. Abe is shocked by this, all the robot needed was new parts…but it’s clear those are hard to come by these days and no Abe is the next target.

But before Abe can be taken, he steps back right into the road where a bus hits him and sends him flying. No robots nearby lend a hand to help him up, as he is nothing but a “stupid fake-man.” Turns out that Abe knows this bus and gets on to get away from here as he recovers. Really he knows the bus itself, the driver of the bus is a different story and is still very focused on maintaining its routes. The bus maintains a strange balance between openly caring and asking Abe about his day…and utterly not caring or understanding what his point is. As if any strong push could finally tip them over to a side. Abe talks to the bus about a range of topics as they go all over the beautiful sprawling city interconnected at every corner. The conversation ranges from how bad his accident looked moments ago, to possibly taking him to a quick fix place but how robots don’t usually come back out, and finally to Abe’s own question…why do they persist? The bus claims it is her job, but Abe points out she has no passengers…but she does have him. The bus tries to see the point Abe is making, that maybe things were better with the fleshies. But she can still remember how many kids they had to dodge in the streets or the self cleaning due to a drunk throwing up in the bus. But all of this is said in disdain to the sharp juxtaposition of the robot world they are driving in as robots are on the streets ripping each other apart for spare circuits. But Abe still posses the question, without him does the bus not feel empty of purpose? Without variant do you not feel stagnation? The bus seems to understand, but it’s still living and that’s what it’s about.

Eventually they reach the last stop on the bus route, set to head back into the city in 9 minutes. Abe steps out to find they are at the edge of the barrier of their world, as massive walls surround the city. Abe wonders if there is more behind the walls, but the bus doesn’t think about it at all. Abe then notices a robot head sitting on the ground, he walks over to pick it up and then chucks it at the wall. This smashes the wall through as a large hole forms to show the outside world. The sun is shining bright across a desert wasteland…Abe sees its beauty while the bus is astonished there is more out there…but she still only sees it as sad and barren. The little ant like robots outside the wall immediately get to work at repeating the wall as Abe looks out and wonders if there are still people out there. But the bus isn’t so sure, they can’t fathom the humans surviving all this time without the robots help. But things quickly escalate as another eater, like the one we saw devour the little breakfast robot from earlier, slides towards them. They are still not set to depart for another 5 minutes but they don’t have time or they will be consumed. So Abe teamed the drastic measure of ripping the bus driver robot out of the front seat so he can take the controls. Sure he may have died in 1865 but how hard can it be, lol. Abe is able to take over right as the eater’s giant hand slams down and smashes the pavement under them, launching them forward just a bit more as they successfully get away.

Abe and bus are relieved as it seems each passing day the eaters get more aggressive, and with them being completely out on their own they were ripe for the taking. This has been fun but Abe assumes the bus is ready to return to her route…but she actually isn’t, now that she has seen the world out there what’s the point in driving the same old route she hates or what’s the point in Abe giving the same old speeches to robots who hate them? “Let’s keep going.” But the robot driver of the bus doesn’t feel the same and was not destroyed earlier as it launches itself only Abe’s back, smashing his hat on front of his eyes as the bus looses control. The bus tries to warn them they are heading into oncoming traffic, only for Abe to diver three bus right into a closed on-ramp. Thankfully the driver was thrown out and it seemed like smooth sailing as the bus doesn’t care the driver rubbed her wrong for the last 63 years, lol. But as they. Ego to cross a bridge suddenly a robot looking creature crossed their path, only to get closer to see its face to realize it is a young human in a very shabby disguise. WAIT, A WHAT?! Abe breaks hard to try and avoid hitting them, which unfortunately results in the bus turning hard and launching right off the bridge, getting turned over in the process. The bus is dying now as its voice begins to fade away, the human watching on from the top of the bridge as they slip away. But even with the bus dying they both confirm what they think they saw, or at least what it liked like. But then the bus feels something in it as Abe steps out and looks on top of the bus to see a very angry red eyed dog like robot. Abe falls back in fear as he suddenly looks around to see they are surrounded by scrap robots called junkies. Getting the parts they need to keep going from anywhere they can. Abe tries to stop them from taking parts from Bus, but he can’t even hold back a WALLE looking robot. But suddenly everything comes to a haunt as a swarm of police robots surround the bus and the junkies ordering them all to freeze. Abe tries to pull the honest technique, explaining that this whole situation may be his fault as he tries to tell them what he saw. Each time he tries to mention the human something cuts him off, whether it be a robot being slammed against a wall or a cop cutting him off as they line everyone up and get a much larger robot out here to pick the bus up. The cops are trying to blame the bus crash on the junkies as the junkies maintain they only got here after the crash, the robot that came to pickup the bus could confirm this and the main cop in charge demand for someone to step forward with answers…finally clearing the stage for Abe to blurt out that he saw a human. This revelation sends everyone into an immediate panic as the cops order a code red and drone speed down to the area to begin rebooting and wiping the memories of all the robots here with a flash of light. Even the bus is awake now that it’s up right, colluding the story that the humans are real and among them and the need to help if they can. But the cops aren’t letting anyone leave here with this info, but as the drones hone in on bus and Abe…while bus’s memory is reset…Abe stays the same. The cops immediately assume something damaged his memory core, perhaps when his finger poked his eye at the start, so they opt to throw Abe in the back of a police van to take him downtown instead. I hate that Bus’s personality was reset immediately, I hope some memory of Abe still lives in there. But Abe won’t get the chance right now to try and pull it back out as Abe is taken away in the midst of chaos and bus is left confused and sprawled over the street. I love this start to much and I can’t wait for more.

Book Review: If Destruction Be Our Lot Volume 1 by Matthew Rosenberg and Mark Elijah Rosenberg

I picked up If Destruction Be Our Lot, Volume 1 because I heard it described as WALL-E meets Fallout, and honestly, that was enough to get me to try it. I love Fallout, and I can definitely see the comparison in the post-apocalyptic setting, strange remnants of civilization, dangerous wasteland, and the particular combination of bleakness and absurdity. But this also has a bit of Detroit: Become Human in its DNA, especially in the way it imagines robots developing their own society after humanity has largely disappeared from their world. The funny thing is that they haven't exactly created some enlightened robot utopia. This is a gritty dystopia that is somehow dystopian even for the robots, complete with social hierarchies, violence, exploitation, bureaucracy, and all the other charming characteristics of civilization. It is a genuinely cool premise, and I really liked how committed the book is to making this world feel dirty, strange, and lived-in rather than turning the robots into cute little WALL-E clones.

Abe is what really makes the story work for me. Making the protagonist a robot version of Abraham Lincoln is already inherently absurd, but he isn't treated purely as a joke. He is curious, lonely, stubborn, and increasingly dissatisfied with the narrow life he's been given. One of my favorite little details is that he keeps a plant in his apartment and takes care of it. It is such a small glimpse of tenderness in an otherwise harsh world, and it gives Abe this unexpected humanity despite the fact that he is literally a machine. The book also has a wonderfully strange sense of humor, particularly when Abe gets himself into increasingly ridiculous situations. There is a sequence involving him getting high that is both completely absurd and somehow perfectly consistent with the tone of the book. I like that the story can move from philosophical questions about consciousness and purpose to genuinely ridiculous robot nonsense without feeling like it has completely changed genres.

Spoilers: The encounter with the human girl is where the story really starts to open up. Abe eventually comes face-to-face with an actual human, proving that the assumption that humanity is gone is completely wrong. The encounter itself is chaotic, and when she is knocked unconscious, Abe ends up holding her, creating this unexpectedly gentle moment between two beings who are supposed to have nothing to do with one another. Then they both essentially panic and flee, which is a very funny way for this potentially world-changing revelation to unfold. Abe goes home afterward and returns to his ordinary routine, including taking care of his little plant, and I actually loved that juxtaposition. He has just encountered a living human, something that should fundamentally change his understanding of the world, and yet there he is back in his apartment tending to a plant. It makes the story feel less like a grand chosen-one narrative and more like the story of a strange individual whose curiosity keeps dragging him farther into something much bigger than himself.

The final stretch shifts the scale again. After everything that has happened, Abe works his way through the tunnel system and eventually reaches the desert, where he starts trekking into this completely unfamiliar landscape. And that is where the volume ends. I actually liked the decision to leave him there rather than immediately explain everything. The human girl has already shattered his assumptions about the world, but the desert suggests that what he has discovered is only the beginning. I really enjoyed this book. The art is easily one of my favorite things about it, with that grimy, industrial, almost battered aesthetic that makes the robot world feel genuinely dystopian. The story is weird, funny, violent, occasionally surprisingly sweet, and just philosophical enough to give all the absurdity some substance. I went in expecting a fun Fallout-ish robot apocalypse and got something that feels much more distinctive. 4 stars.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. This is my honest and voluntary review.

[My Fairytale Days]

📖 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿:
Readers who enjoy quirky robot stories, post-apocalyptic worlds and a little existential pondering along the way.

I really liked the idea behind this one. Humanity is gone, the robots have carried on, and Abe is wandering beyond the walls because he can't shake the feeling that there has to be something more out there. It is such an interesting concept, and I thought the world built around it worked really well.

Abe was probably my favourite part. He is curious, lonely and a little stubborn, and I liked following him as he started questioning the world around him. He's modelled after Abraham Lincoln, and since American presidents aren't exactly my strongest area of knowledge, I'll admit I was probably missing some little details there. But even without that, Abe works wonderfully as his own character.

I also liked how quirky the story could be. There are some genuinely fun moments amongst all the strange robot behaviour, and I enjoyed the way it could dip into bigger questions without taking itself too seriously.

The thing is, I can absolutely see that this is a good book. The story is strong, the world is intriguing and everything comes together nicely. It just wasn't really my book. I've read so much around robots, consciousness and what it means to be alive lately that I think my brain has officially put up a little robots closed for maintenance sign.

So, three stars from me. Not because it is a bad book, but because sometimes a book can do everything right and still not quite be your cup of tea. 🤖

✨ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱:
• Abe and his curiosity.
• The fascinating robot world.
• The mix of quirky moments with bigger questions.

🌧️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱:
• Some of the humour didn't quite land for me.
• I've simply had my fill of robot existentialism.
• I never quite connected with the story the way I wanted to.

🎨 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
The art is clean and fits the story beautifully. It suits the gritty, slightly bleak world perfectly, even if the style itself didn't quite have that little bit of magic for me.

[Laura]

This is a gritty graphic novel about a post-human robot-dominated world. On the sunless streets, a robot replica of Abraham Lincoln repeats his famous speeches to cohorts of disinterested robots. He's a cognitive machine with a purpose--to bring meaning to others--in a world where its denizens don't need meaning. From this point he's not too different from a cooking robot trying to make him breakfast. This is a world of disrepair and despair. And Abe is convinced not only that there must be more to life than this; there must also be some humans left. Except when he catches sight of something that might be a biologic, the response of the robot police is unambiguous and brutal. Why are the robots so scared and angry at the potential of a human lingering? What is keeping all these machines going in this grey world?

I have to say the synopsis is a bit misleading. It's clear from the beginning that robots are anything but happy. Programmed maybe, but happiness is not to be found in the pages of this graphic novel. There were some interesting hints of philosophical discussion, and some good humor, especially in the first part. I also liked the use of fonts to convey "voice" for the characters. But the graphics were a bit too dark and not always easy to follow. Some points were belabored unnecessarily in my opinion. I think a couple of the mid-scene tension moments could have been swapped out for a more thoughtful immersion in the world.
3.5 stars rounded up.

[kilmosnaps]

Humanity is extinct or is it?

Special thanks to @NetGalley for the advanced reader copy.

I totally read the opening sentence of the description and was in: “Humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us. The robots that once helped us are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abraham Lincoln.”

That last sentence it totally didn’t click it would literally be about an animatronic Abe Lincoln at the end of its robot life trying to figure out the meaning of this world.

This did a really good job of the world building and seeing the depths one will go to discover the truth while reaching rock bottom. The juxtaposition of drug addiction and the carceral police state but with robot versions was really well done.

The drawings were absolutely gorgeous and breathtakingly visceral at times.

The only thing I didn’t like is this is only Vol 1 and ended on a cliffhanger! I have no idea how to get the next comic to finish!

[Colin Post]

This is the kind of comic I’ve been missing for awhile now - an indie, ongoing that’s just set in a world where stuff happens. There are definitely hints at a bigger narrative arc, but the setup is just sort or robot Abe Lincoln in a world (seemingly) solely inhabited by other robots. The book is funny, the art is astounding, and the whole thing is just fun and incredibly imaginative. I’m along for the whole ride.

PS: Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou has found another gear. Did not think it was possible, but I guess ask him to come up with inventive scripts for a bunch of different robots, and he’ll once again demonstrate that he’s the best letterer working today.

[Jared]

An anamatronic Lincoln searches for meaning in a post-human robot world. Sounds strange but it really works. In this all-robot society, the long-vanished humans seem like a myth, and the robots themselves are mostly operating on outdated programming, without real purpose or understanding.

Except honest Abe. Interestingly, as a human-resembling android, he is discriminated against by the other robots. Which makes him even more of a deviant when he starts questioning the meaning of it all.

Great start of a new series. Beautiful artwork and intruiging world building. I look forward to reading more.

[Wm]

This is a unique book. I had to stop about 3 pages in, and return to it a couple days later in order to properly "voice" the various speakers in my head.

Why did I bother coming back, if it was such a difficult read? Because Rosenberg has only impressed me, and I trusted him to deliver even when I wasn't ready for it, and it paid off.

We'll see how he does with Spawn #376, a character and universe even Alan Moore, for my taste, couldn't make readable.

[Leslie Carnahan]

When I first heard the premise of this book, I thought "well that sounds interesting". But once I read this first issue I WAS HOOKED. Post apocalyptic world. Humans are extinct. Robots have taken over. A robot/ animatronic of Abraham Lincoln is ostracize for looking human. Robots around him are killing each other for scraps, wondering what their purpose is. This whole thing seems to be an allegory for ... Robots learn from humans. Humans can be wicked and cruel and evil. So if Robots learn from us, they are no better than what we teach them. Incredible.

[Laken]

When all of humanity is gone, what will the robots that remain think of the creators who have passed away and left them to their fate? The main robot is an robotic recreation of Abraham Lincoln. Whether this is because he is considered the only good president remaining is unknown His fellow robots find him foolish and in poor taste. He is set on a quixotic quest to find humans, if any remain. Volume 1 sets readers up for a continuing saga. Do any humans remain? If so, what do they owe the robots they've left behind?

[Misse Jones]

Very good!

All of humanity is gone and all that is left is the robots and they actually like the peace of it all. Content with this new reality, all is seemingly well without humans, and robots are happy without interference. Except Abe who is dead set on believing there's more out there than just the bots.

The artwork is really good and so is the dialogue. This is an enjoyable debut. I can't wait to see what issue 2 brings.

[Dean]

It was good it was extra length, because I dont think a regular sized issue would have worked as well.

We get the set up of no humans, except maybe there are; the world is just this city, except for the wasteland beyond.

Ill always show up for Rosenberg, not sure if the story here is for me but the social commentary is what im here for.

[Eric]

WOW!

Great first issue. loved the robots personalities and the big surprise. Fantastic art and story. Looking forward to Matthew Rosenberg on Spawn and King Spawn after reading this gem.

[Andrew Svec]

Interesting premise with an animatronic Abe Lincoln robot trying to figure out what to do in a robot society where the humans have been dead for 60+ years. Great dialogue and world building. Loved the Lincoln vs Wall-E scene.

[Ash]

Fun fast paced sci fi adventure story about robot Abe Lincoln’s search for humanity in a world overrun by robots. Great world, story and characters, heart felt and action packed.

ARC Netgalley Review

[Min]

What can be a cooler concept than a Lincoln replica robot trying to seek the trace of human beings and dwelling on his existential crisis in the post-apocalyptic world? The only problem is that it’s expensive to buy issues now because the title has become a somewhat unexpected hit.

[pugna_vel_intereo]

Looks like this will be an interesting series.

Can't wait for issue 2!

[Ryan Gässer]

I picked this issue up yesterday at my LCS on a whim. I enjoy good science fiction and this looked interesting. And it was! I’m looking forward to the next issue…

[Erin]

I thought this was going to be extremely corny… and then it ended up being my favorite #1 to come out this month. A pleasant surprise!

[Nick]

4.2 This was a fun read. Crazy concept having Lincoln with robots.

[Alanna Metz]

I was given an advance reader copy by Image in exchange for my honest review.

How would a world be without people and only robots? What would happen to them when they are gone? What world would we leave behind. This comic explores these questions and more. Haunting but oddly beautiful, the comic follows a robot who looks like Abe Lincoln. A humanoid robot in a city with no humans is an odd sight. He wants to know what happened to humans and what purpose he has without them. I can't wait to read vol 2, as the ending was a huge cliffhanger! Excellent read.
