System Error #1

by Phil Chapman

When tour guide robot ITTO wakes ready to take on a new day handing out leaflets, it's confused to find the world was not how it left it.

Beautiful post-collapse art. The display messages are effective at communicating the robot's goals and intentions. The robot is a cute, likable character.

The pre-collapse setting was established quickly and efficiently. There is some human dialogue early on that hasn't come back to play yet and I'm wondering if that will become relevant again in a few issues.

Very possible future outcome and y'all wanna trust AI.

Update: Had to do a Captcha to prove I'm not a robot and leave this review.

Social media is a bit too much today (July 3rd, in the States), and I accidentally found this cute little story about a robot surviving after some mass humanity incident. Seems appropriate to a degree? Either way, it's a good distraction, so I'm gonna keep going.

Cute, but don’t seem to break any new ground. Interesting enough that I do want to continue the series.

An good start to a series. Loved the drawings and start of story.

Let's be clear: I will now and for always be a sucker for a cutie lil robot navigating the post-apocalypse. You can just tell me that this is the storyline, and I'm in.

via Hoopla.

Intriguing and atmospheric first issue, think I'd prefer to read the issues back to back though as this felt a bit short. Really like the art style as well.

Discovered this as a Hoopla bonus borrow. This review is for all four issues since I don't think it was ever collected. It's quite delightful. It's about a robot that wakes up in a long deserted London and is trying to determine what has happened, along the way he makes other robot friends and enemies. I'm not familiar with Chapman but I loved the art and story here. I hope he goes on to make more comics.
