This ambitious story mixes many influences and genres(ranging from cyberpunk to Feudal samurai to spaghetti western to horror) into one amazing roller coaster ride. Alex is a top notch artist and an extremely inventive storyteller. His character designs are evocative as is the fully realized world they inhabit. His layouts are bold. His pacing is impeccable. And, man, can he tell a story with pictures. The body language of his characters speak volumes, which is especially paramount when one of your main “actors” doesn’t utter a word.

Robotika is a groundbreaking book, in terms of story and art, and I highly recommend that people give it a shot.
