The Kill Lock: The Artisan Wraith 1 returns readers to Livio Ramondelli's tale of robots and death in a story that is 'every bit as excellent as its predecessor.' Read our full review here:
Livio Ramondelli's original The Kill Lock miniseries was simply excellent. By combining jaw-dropping visuals of a completely robotic universe with deeply flawed characters, it instantly stood out as an outstanding piece of science fiction that went miles beyond the elevator pitch of"death row with a sci-fi twist.
Here's a quick recap in case you forgot or missed the initial series: The story centered around four robots of differing classes all convicted of crimes and connected via a Kill Lock, which immediately destroys all four if one of them dies.
One would think the story would pick up right from there, but it instead tosses a curveball with a new pair of characters. Readers are still filled in on what happened to the Wraith—it became the ruler of its own planet in about a week—but we don't see them again until the opening issue's final panels. The story instead spends most of its time with two members of the Resolve Class tasked with taking out the Wraith.
Ramondelli once again brings an incredible amount of depth, personality and humanity to these new characters despite their metallic, jagged designs. The pair bicker like an old married couple at first, until you realize one is suffering from a form of Alzheimer's while the other is dead set on finding a cure.
It's far too early to say where The Kill Lock will go from here, but The Artisan Wraith was able to produce an excellent issue without its titular character present for 98% of the story. One issue in and this series is every bit as excellent as its predecessor. Letters by Shawn Lee
