    Silicon Bandits #1 is a solid debut taking a traditional heist story and adding in some twists in futuristic tech. Underneath that, the story is a cautionary tale of the future tech bros want to bring, an android infused society where they profit, not caring for those impacted. Thankfully, the team cooks up a debut that entertains while also serving as a warning. Read Full Review

    As with many of the most prolific writers in science fiction, Jason Starr has taken the most palpable anxieties faced today and pushed them to what could be seen as the foregone conclusion in Silicon Bandits No. 1. This bleak look at where we might be headed is beautifully clothed in a world of possibility and promise, stylishly represented by the beautiful works of artist Dalibor Talajic and colorist Stjepan Bartolic. The world feels futuristic, yet very familiar, and the story all too viable. The ending abruptly leaves us concerned for our protagonists, and eager to see what befalls them next. Read Full Review
