    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

    Jul 15, 2026

    It might've had kind of an awkward start, but the series really seems to be moving in a direction create its own fingerprint on the page. It has its own distinct presence. What starts office is kind of a silly idea. Turns into a really compelling action drama. The contrast between the sentimental idealism of Lincoln and and the snappy, scream, smart with of Speed are great fun to follow. Add to that the entry of what might be the last human and everything really starts to come together in the sharp focus for a series which is really beginning to hit it right at the end of the third issue.

    Thought-provoking issues like what it means to be human, along with some great visuals, make this title consistently strong. It should really be on your monthly pick list — assuming you’re…human. Read Full Review

    If Destruction Be Our Lot #3 continues the revelation that humans exist in this world and this reveal sets the table for what’s to come. The more we learn about this world, the more we realize that it mirrors our own reality. This series is really deep and thought provoking, well still being easy to follow and enjoyable. It isn’t too late to get on board with this series. Pick up this issue and the first two and buckle in for one heck of a ride. Read Full Review

    IDBOL #3 is a bit more introspective than the previous two outings, but I feel that things are only starting to heat up. Read Full Review

    Matthew and Mark Elijah Rosenberg continue to craft an interesting and engaging world in this issue. This issue adds new depth to the character of Abe while also adding a new and interesting dynamic between him and the young human he discovers. Everything in the issue and the world it is creating makes me want to know more about it and I cannot wait to see where this story goes next and what Abe’s place in the world means. Read Full Review

    Liking the vibes. But I hope they don't fall into the trap of just making this robot-man identical to a regular man. Right now he has thoughts, emotions, and the flaws of a human being - so why bother making him a robot? He might as well just be a real human himself. Why is he different, and what does he really want? We need more investment in those two big questions.

    Happy to keep reading as I think this has promise!
