boboss: fair, although the fact that "theyre all robots" is all the persuasive information condensed into a three word gist.
the information that i have on the first arc, the one ive yet read, is this; the story revolves around female robot named nina, and her boyfriend named quentin. quentin is an unempolyed security guard. nina is also unemployed. a series of robberies take place, causing the upper-class big-shots to hire more security, thus quentin is in work again. nina goes out almost every night, and returns in the the small hours of the morning, making quentin suspicious, but he does nothing about it. at a massive promotional do for some big shot thats too full of himself, nina arrives, dressed as stuningly as a robot can be, and that night, quentin is on duty. nina gets on her gasmask (the same one worn by the unknown robber) and clears out the entire building, apart from quentin, the big-shot, a large security officer, and a few partiers to dumb to leave the bulding when theyre told. nina makes her way to the big-shot, killing the large security officer, on the way, and seduces the said big-shot. the big-shot wears a set of orange lenses, covering his presumably robotic eyes, although when smashed with a set of pliers by nina, they reveal something different. nina is about to escape when quentin arrives. nina removes her mask and reveals what she took from the big-shots eye sockets: a pair of human eyes, real ones, organic ones, in a glass jar. she tells him that someone is offering a lot of money for them, as noone knows what they are, she says theyre one of a kind, and that they would be made for life with the profits from selling them. quentin refuses, and the two fight. quentin is breifly knocked unconscious, as nina jumps onto a passing cable car. quentin awakens, and runs to the window, shooting, but deliberately missing nina. the big-shot runs to the window, eyeless, and demands for him to "keep fucking shooting!". Quentin apoligises to nina, and to himself, and shoots, hitting nina's wrist. nina falls into the river below, a slick of oil is the only remains on the surface.
i liked it. thats all there is to say. im hoping that they go into more detail in the next arc about why theres nothing organic anymore. even the mice and crows are robotic (crows feature a lot in dialogue-less panels) although as i said above, the plot is slow moving, and although the concept is great, they should probably start revealing a little more to keep the readers hooked, instead of relying in admittedly amazing artwork and action scenes to reel in the sales. |
