RoboCop: Citizens Arrest
Boom Studios is reviving RoboCop with a new comic book miniseries! The series is set 30 years after the events of the 1987 RoboCop movie. Citizens are the police force now, they use apps to report crime and gain profit. RoboCop himself has become a by-gone tool. io9.com has a great interview with the writer and artist of the new series, Brian Wood and Jorge Coelho. The new miniseries seems very intriguing and the art is fantastic, a real 1980s throwback vibe. RoboCop: Citizens Arrest hits shelves in April.
