RoboWolf #2 doubles down on everything that made the debut so electric: Absurd action, emotional flashbacks, and art that demands to be blown up into a poster. It's a glam-metal fever dream that understands its influences inside and out, wearing its heart (and circuits) proudly on its sleeve. Read Full Review

Plot
Robowolf, Susuki, Vinny, and Lance face Nick, a crazed killer with chainsaws implanted in his arms. He bears a resemblance to the ultimate villain of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but this version is cruel.

Nick and Robowolf have deeply connected origin stories; they were both best friends and mercenaries under the command of General Masakov, who ordered them to save hostages trapped in a jungle and then eliminate them. This sequence pays homage to Predator, even including a scene where the two bodybuilders' toned arms clasp each other.

It is during this mission that Robowolf loses an arm and the ABRAXAS INDUSTRIES corporation experiments on him, fitting him with organs, limbs, and other bionic devices.

While Robowolf tries to stop Nick, Susuki, Vinny, and Lance face off against the Flesh-Heads, green mutants that resemble slimes. Susuki devises a plan, and Lance manages to hack Nick and uses him to massacre all the Flesh-Heads.

Time is running out for Robowolf to deliver the promised money to General Masakov for the release of his daughter, Lindsey. He has eight hours left and many unknown enemies.

This comic is exaggeratedly shocking in its ultraviolent, darkly humorous narrative, where it mixes anthropomorphic animals with 1980s robotic technology in a brilliantly creative chaos, where you feel all this neon-filled pop culture leaping from every page directly into your psyche.

Art
It's detailed with great care to highlight facial expressions as well as exaggerated anatomy, filled with retro-futuristic science fiction elements. It's a visual delight, at times reminiscent of the tone of The Garbage Pail Kids cards, a cultural icon of the mid-1980s, but adapts it to its own powerful artistic imprint with all those dizzying visual sequences.

Summary
Robowolf confronts Nick, their origins connecting in a tribute sequence to one of the best action films of the 1980s. more
