Writer/artist Raffaele Ienco will release the first trade paperback collection of his sapient sci-fi series Mechanism this January from Image Comics and Top Cow Productions.

In the aftermath of an alien invasion, a prototype military robot is rushed into the field before it is combat-ready. Now, attached to a group of survivors, it studies them to learn what it means to be human. Will it come to see humanity as worthy, or will it conclude that the human race isn’t worth saving at all?

Mechanism TP Volume 1 (ISBN: 978-1-5343-0032-3) hits comic book stores Wednesday, January 18th and bookstores Tuesday, January 24th.
