NEW SERIES DEBUT FROM DSTLRY! Join Chip Zdarsky (TIME WAITS, Batman, Daredevil) and Rachael Stott (Doctor Who, Star Trek) for a sweeping adventure about two robots who defy their programming by going on the run to protect their new-found love!
Service-1 and Chef-9 dutifully perform their assigned functions at the White House. Their roles bring them into daily contact, but familiarity means little to robotic programming, until Chef-9 learns that Service-1 is set to be decommissioned. Chef-9 starts to wonder if their feelings could be something more?
This awakening couldn’t come at a worse time, as the White House is more
Ultimately, while the premise is zany and the timing eerie (though, fun fact, Zdarsky actually wrote the story months before tensions between the U.S. and Canada made headlines,) White House Robot Romance is a deeply thoughtful book that just so happens to be wrapped in international intrigue and, well, robots. Its a book you definitely do not want to miss and one that will have you rooting for a robot romance, too. Read Full Review
This first issue instantly makes the reader realize that they are reading a unique story. Chip Zdarsky is no stranger to the weird and wacky variety of comics, and he truly excels here. The romance of the bots takes center stage until the conspiracy starts to really kick in. But even then, the romantic aspect of the story still shines through. Zdarsky also does a tremendous job of bringing a good deal of humor to the story, which makes the read that much more fun. Read Full Review
It's a strange experiment. The title would suggest something much more weird than what the creative team is putting together here. Which is really too bad. Once it becomes a parent that it's a political drama at romantic political drama, and everything else, the weirdness takes a backseat, and it just sort of becomes much more serious and straightforward than it probably should be.

Probably the best comic released this week. Stunning intro and character work, and I really admire them using robot forms that aren't easily anthropomorphised.
