Bestselling writer Rob Williams (Suicide Squad) and superstar artist Pye Parr (2000 AD) team up for a pedal-to-the-metal, action-packed sci-fi series in the upcoming Petrol Head. First announced exclusively at ComicBook.com, this all-new ongoing series is set to hit the pavement this November from Image Comics.
In a climate crisis-ravaged future metropolis, an old, grumpy, obsolete, smoke-belching, cigar-chomping, hotrod-racing robot is one 12-year-old girl’s only hope. Together, can they outrace the chasing Robo-Cops with an invention that might just save humanity? Readers will jump straight into the non-human race with this robo-gorgeous launch issue featuring 42 story pages.

Je découvre via cette série les planches incroyables de Pye Parr et ses couleurs assez vives. C’est pétillant, puissant, percutant, et jouissif. C’est une des rares fois où je me suis prêté au jeu du courrier des lecteurs pour dire le bien que je pensais du premier numéro. Je croise les doigts pour y être dans le 3 !
Le 2 monte encore d’un cran. Une très bonne surprise.
