Arriving as embryos and raised by robots, a colony of children on a distant planet struggle to survive when the robots who raised them begin to shut down.
A dynamic story that can best be described as a cross between "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "Ender's Game". Great for middle grade and YA readers.

I haven't read a comic in a long time, but this one is really interesting. Fantastic illustrations! Children who enjoy robots and science fiction will enjoy it. I'm excited to see what comes next!
For fans of sci-fi,robots and space, this book will surely meet your needs. I would recommend it to older children (9 and older) as they can use their imagination and follow through the story from the beginning to the end. I personally think that the book can also be a great idea if turned into a cartoon because of the imagination behind the story and suspense.
After the Robots Died is a great book for middle school and YA readers. It is an interesting story about children who survive a planet following the shut down of their robot caretakers. This book is full of suspense, action and adventure. This story is definitely captivating and I look forward to more books and series from this author.
A great comic-style read with plenty to sink your teeth into. Children are going to love this book and it's great to see a different style of book. I wish there was more of the story to read but look forward to seeing what comes next.
Ok. My grandchildren absolutely loved this book. Even the boys. It will give too much away to go into what they loved, but they would have sat thru several more of these books. They flipped thru the story several times, times, just looking at the pictures. That's says it all.
Like other reviewers, it's been a while since I read a comic. But this was edgy, and interesting with some unpredictable characters. It drew me in and kept me wanting to read. The author has started building a world in a format that I believe more people should use.
This spooked me out, but in a really great way. 😆 Older kids will love this gloomy, futuristic, post-apocalyptic adventure. Great illustrations and very creative!
This adventure has it all! Robots, crazed animals, and more. The kids find themselves in a world without supervision and they must figure it all out. This story is only the beginning.
2.5 stars I wasn’t keen on the drawing style Though I did like the last frame I wasn’t overly captured by the story and was bored Not one I will continue
A great sci-fi comic book. It’s thrilling and the storyline is so engaging! The robots are shutting down and now the children have to survive on their own. The illustrations are beautiful! Middle graders who are into sci-fi action will love it. Can’t wait to find out what happens in the next book! Kudos to the author. Absolutely loved it!
