Remastered with stunning new colors and effects, NYC MECH, VOL. 1: LET'S ELECTRIFY takes science fiction to the streets, with hard-boiled cyber-noir tales of crime, lust and revenge.
Please note: Graphic Novels will take somewhat longer to ship during our beta period.
Sometimes a piece of art, or food, or something will come along, and you’ll say “Dang – I totally understand the mastery with which this thing was prepared … and yet, I don’t care for it at all”.
Say you’re not into mushrooms, and someone gives you a perfectly seasoned mushroom soup.
You don’t enjoy it.
Well, that’s how NYC Mech is for me. The artwork is fabulous. The page layouts are great. The dialogue is snappy and crisp.
...and yet, I don’t get the book at all. All of NYC is filled with anthropomorphic robots, who act EXACTLY like people do. They smoke, they do drugs, they eat, they act like idiots towards each other. In fact, the only way that they are not people is that they have silverish skin.
I don’t understand the world they robots live in.
I don’t understand their meaningless lives.
I don’t understand the plot threads.
I don’t care about them as characters.
I just don’t get it at all.
Maybe it’s social satire?
If so, it’s going over my head.
