Newsarama - Justin Partridge
Nov 20, 2018Standing as a clear entry point for new and returning fans, Go-Bots #1 could arguably be this week's dark horse pick of the week. Read Full Review

Comicosity - Amy Ziegfeld
Nov 21, 2018Go-Bots #1 is a rollicking, exuberrant throw-back, a perfect simulation of a child's tale as put together by a master craftsman. It's a unique product of a single auteur and worth a look for that alone, but also entertains and enthralls on its own merits. Read Full Review

Multiversity Comics - Rowan Grover
Nov 22, 2018"Go-Bots" #1 serves as a great debut to Scioli's re-imagining of the 80s franchise, with interesting story concepts and characters, and a fusion of modern and classical visual storytelling. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - David Howard
Nov 21, 2018This is an interesting beginning to a new series, one that has possible ramifications in the real world. Other stories have tackled this concept before; the possibility that our technology reaches sentience and decides to rebel against its creators. The most notable of these stories that come to mind are Blade Runner and Terminator. However, in this story Scioli has presented a novel twist in that the sentient technology, Go-Bots, are tools and conveyances who have somehow circumvented their safeguards. One wonders if Alexa may not one day gain sentience and decide she has had enough of catering to our every whim as she monitors our homes 24/7. As I keep a wary eye on my smart phone I look forward to seeing the next installment of G0-Bots. Read Full Review

Nov 21, 2018It honestly took me a bit to warm up to this book. Once I understoodthe directionTom is taking the series,I appreciated it a little more. However, I don't think this is a book for everyone,honestly, don't think this is a book for very many people at all. If you love vintage comics, art, and stories, I think you'll dig this one, or if you are a fan of the toys or cartoons from the 80's I think you'll also appreciate it. Read Full Review
