In the year 2056, robots have replaced human beings in the workforce. An uneasy co-existence develops between the newly intelligent robots and the ten billion humans living on Earth. Every human family is assigned a robot upon whom they are completely reliant. What could possibly go wrong? Meet the Walters, a human family whose robot, Razorball, ominously spends his free time in the garage working on machines which they're pretty sure are designed to kill them in this sci-fi satire from Mark Russell (The Flintstones, Second Coming) and Mike Deodato Jr. (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Resistance)

    It's a really good little series. It's well written, it has good art and it has interesting metaphors. Overall, really solid. I hope more comes out.

    Not All Robots, by Mark Russell and Mike Deodato Jr. (AWA Upshot)
    I picked this trade up after seeing it received a 2022 Eisner nomination for “Best New Series”. I was not familiar with AWA Studios; however, I knew both writer Mark Russell (from his previous Eisner nominations in 2018 and 2019) and artist Mike Deodato Jr. I was a little disappointed with my first impression of the AWA label based on an error on the initial title page of the TPB when they erroneously credited Mike Deodato Jr. as “writer” and no credit as the artist. The book itself was strong. Strong creators. Intelligent story. Complimenting art. Good build up. The theme was dark and heavy. Not a perfect modern allegory but very relevant to modern themes of power, relevancy, obsolescence, tribalism, consumerism, and justice. I think I prefer such heavy themes to be a little more subtle but Not All Robots intended to put them front and center. It felt like a self-contained story (like it should have been a limited series rather than a continuing series).
