Cyborgs run amuck.

 

Our heroes find themselves in a little one-horse town. A bar-fight breaks out and is ended when a bigger fight breaks out in the streets. Cherokee Girl reunites with her long lost father. We learn a little bit about Bronski’s past. There is a samurai duel and it appears as if everyone dies at the end.

 

The above synopsis might seem a little convoluted because that is what I took from the comic. I read through it a few times and still couldn’t get much out of it. The artwork and setting is pretty cool but the dialogue is awful. It could be that this is too small of a sample to really draw much from. And I would be willing to read some more of Robotika. This section I read brimmed with potential but was killed in the writing.
