The wonders of steampunk technology have reached the old west! It is 1879 and the world is about to meet Ranger ONE, the first self-aware automaton programmed to eradicate crime in the town of Steam's Eddy. But what happened in the next few years that made the federal government ban the existence of self-aware automatons? And whatever happened to the hero Ranger ONE? There are whispers of a grifter automaton named Screw Driver who's saving humans and automatons alike. He's a machine wanted by the law-functional or dismantled.
GRIT 'N GEARS #1 takes the Old West sheriff story and gives it a steampunk robot twist, with satisfying results. The sci-fi elements work effectively, but the heart of this issue gets to the heart of a very human moral dilemma that makes for an engaging read. Read Full Review
Enjoying the alt-Western atmosphere so far, not much is established what caused the time shift, but it isn't a major issue for the story. Safe first issue.
I found the art and story a bit difficult to follow so far. I really want to like this one. I found myself having a hard time understanding what "timeline" I was following and the story is confusing a bit for now.
