RoboCop Comic series by Boom Studios

I like it but to each its own. The story in my opinion kinda ran the lines of what the government is trying to do here in the U.S. and thats take away guns.

To me if I am correct last stand was like a retelling of Robocop 3 with a little bit of Robocop 2 thrown in there

Amazon are now listing RoboCop: Dead Or Alive Vol 2 for release in late February 2016. My guess is this will be issues 5-8 collected so at least the artwork will be consistent in the book!

FINALLY - just got an email from Amazon UK - Dead Or Alive vol 1 has been dispatched! I worried this would fall into a black hole along with the Dark Horse Omnibus and Road Trip TPB but it's on its way!

I just finished reading this series and am now proud to say I have read and own every Robocop comic ever made, except the Robocop 3 adaptation which I still need to pick up. But as for this series, i was pretty happy with it. The story was by no means revolutionary for Robocop but it felt appropriate and accurate to the Detroit of the first film. It was pretty predictable. (Spoilers follow) There were some nice twists, like how Killian is the Old Man's brother. Getting to learn a little about the Old Man's past was one of my favorite parts of this romp. There are a few other moments that will stick with me, like when Robocop is on fire screaming "We're here to protect you!". Powerful stuff. I also loved the ending. Whereas most Robocop stories in the past have focused on Robocop becoming more human, I like went the opposite direction. It makes sense though, and I wish this really was an ongoing series like we were originally promised because I think there is a lot more to do with this theme. Robocop never cared about wether he lived or died it was just the people around him fighting for his continued survival. He just did his job. Even the thing with Lewis leaving him to be a detective. At the end she finagles it so she can keep being his partner but Robocop never really cared. I think this is a very interesting story angle, that everyone projects their humanity onto Robocop while he can be content being a machine.

Now, there was some controversy over the switch of artists. While I do like the first artist the best, his style was a lot more detailed than the followup artists. It would seem like he couldn't get the job done in time and the others were picked because they could turn it around quickly. As someone who has read monthly titles my whole life I'm very used to this happening and have seen worse mishaps. It would have been nice if there was one artist for the whole series but all of them had a decent vision of Robocop to bring to the table.

The thing I am worried about is that this will be the last Robocop story we read for a very long time. On one hand, its the longest running Robo title since the original run. On the other, it was just a run of the mill Robocop title that didn't take the character in any new directions. While that is fine this story was only a slight improvement over the Dynamite era. This would have been a great starting arc for the planned ongoing series, but alas, it seems Robo is doomed to shorter runs. Even my local comic store stopped carrying it halfway through because nobody was buying it. But I truly hope BOOM doesn't waste this license because this was a very solid story. My grade for now: B+
