At the very end of the 80’s Robocop was a hot property with a solid first film out and a second on his way. Most companies jumped at the opportunity to capitalize on the brand despise the heavy violence displayed by the main character. Marvel Comics launched a comic series based on the adventures of Murphy with the blessing of Orion Pictures. The comic was in the same tune of the movies, although it displayed a Robocop much more tech-savvy, agile, lethal and with a heavy moral compass that made him feel guilt over his actions. Despise being a good read the series lasted only 23 issues, originally though to link Robocop 2 and 3. These tales were later cast out of the actual continuity of the character because it contradicted too much what was set as canon on film. These days Dynamite Comics hold the license of the characters and they release a comic series almost each year.
Robocop:”I’m Not Arresting You Anymore” // By Orion Pictures (1987)
Maybe you’ve heard all the fuzz about a new remake of Robocop filming right now. If you are under 18 do yourself a favor and see the original, although it was made in 1987, it’s still a great film and a social critique like no other on his time. Don’t get me wrong I’m very much looking forward for the new take for this generation, but Peter Weller did it just right 25 years ago.

So I Read Today… Terminator/Robocop:Kill Human
I’m a sucker for Robocop, I’ve seen all the movies, the series and read almost all the comics, I find the character to be a walking tragedy, a hero with no choice, and sometimes like Captain America, a man (machine?) out of time, this story delivers exactly on that premise, very much like the first Robocop Vs Terminator done by Frank Miller and Walt Simonson a long time ago; this time around humanity is on the ropes, the last living human beings are fighting a losing battle against Skynet and just when all seems lost the last human being finds Robocop and activates him… a mistake she’ll regret dearly.
Dynamite Comics delivers again a tale using the character, having failed with a regular series not so long ago which was incredibly written by Rob Williams with art by Fabio Neves, this time around we get more of a 90’s fell to the character, with Mr. Williams still handling the words and P.J Holden handling the art, this one is not supposed to go to the hall of greatness, it’s supposed to be fun, violent nonsense, and believe me, it delivers on every aspect of those words, a nice read only with 4 numbers to go, read it and be amused!
