OK, it looks like running Robo wasn't enough. Here comes jumping Robo. I mean, sure, guys. Whatever you say... you may even turn him into a freakin' Hellraiser. Oh, wait... you just did... OK, whatever. This comic can't get any worse anyway. It's just sitting something there, on the very bottom. Together with that Kill Human... thing... that I'm still trying to unsee. And you know... there's a lot of things this comic has in common with Kill Human. It's pretty much as stupid and full of contradictions as that weird and ugly crossover with Terminator, where RoboCop thought that it'll be fun to... you know... kill John Connor.
For example, all that running stuff aside, in previous issue we saw RoboCop using an SD card. While in this issue they're claiming that RoboCop is an ancient tech in comparison with modern systems. Seriously, what? Did you even read your own stuff, guys? I mean, come on! How can "ancient" tech use modern memory card? I'm pretty sure my old PC from 80s isn't compatible with my smartphone. I just tried to put the SD card into a floppy drive... nope. Didn't work. So, seriously, guys... it's a laughably stupid mistake. And that's the problem with this comic. It's made of such mistakes.
The picture of RoboCop sitting on a shaky wooden chair in this issue can literally describe the whole thing. Brian Wood doesn't even remember the original movie and how important Robo's weight was there! Here's a hint - RoboCop is heavy! Even the police cruiser (originally - modified first gen Ford Taurus) had problems with his weight. But sure, make him run, make him use an SD card, make him sit on the shaky chair like a regular person, sure... You, guys, are the bosses now. He traveled through time in Kill Human, even though he's made of titanium, so... why not? Talking about Terminator... It looks like Brian Wood is taking a lot from there. Actually, it feels like he remembers The Terminator more than he remembers RoboCop. *Sigh* I don't know... I don't know why I keep reading this...
Anyway, long story short, it's the new Kill Human. Which means, if you like RoboCop, do not support this. It's awful in every place possible.

Not a bad RoboCop story
The story is a good continuation of the original 1987 film. It does well at expanding on Murphy’s character while expanding on the OCP angle.
