Astrobots #5 wraps up the first arc but feels a little bit rushed

Posted on by

The clock is ticking for planet Earth and the race is on to find a new world capable of sustaining human life. New, sophisticated machine lifeforms called Astrobots are dispatched to scout far-flung worlds in the hope of crafting a new home.

On Colony World 1, a catastrophic power struggle forges a new – all-Astrobot – society, and presiding over this nascent civilization is Atlas, an evolved mech with a futureproof plan. A plan that does not include humankind.

Alpha Flight #1 (Marvel) – Protecting Canada from mutants? We’re fans of the classic Alpha Flight and we’re intrigued about this new series.

Astrobots #4 (Massive) – Fantastic so far, we finally have an idea of what is up and with tensions, and the violence, escalating, we want to see where this goes.

Barb Vol. 3 Battle for Bailiwick (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers) – Every volume has been fun so far and perfect for young readers who want a fun fantasy series.

The Cull #1 (Image Comics) – Five friends set off to shoot a short film on a forbidden rock near their home the summer before they all go their separate ways. But that’s not really why they’re there.

Uncanny Avengers #1 (Marvel) – Fall of X has been intriguing so far so we want to see what a new “unity” team will be like considering the climate in the Marvel Universe.

Under the Influence #2 (Mad Cave Studios) – A series about a cult spun out from a social media influencer and memes? Yes please!
