scans_dailyIt's another take on Magnus, Robot Fighter.
Like the other Gold Key revamps set up in The Sovereigns #0, it's tangential to its source material.
This Magnus doesn't hurt robots with her bare hands.
She helps them with her words. She's a psychologist for robots.
It's the year 2020. Those robots, the servants that humanity built, want freedom.
They've achieved a measure of it- they have a world for their consciousnesses to thrive in.
Those consciousnesses are stifled outside that world.
Magnus, Doctor Kerri Magnus, works to help them express themselves within the constraints of the human-robot compromise that is society.
She takes her work seriously.
She went home that night, had a drink, went to sleep, and had a nightmare.
She was woken up by knocking on her door, which turned out to be the NYPD.
" You've kept the details out of the news. "
She went into the Cloud World after Frederick.
Later, the two cops discussed the state of things.
" .. we won't be finding out any time soon.. "
(The ominousness of the issue's ending befits the tone of that setup.
The whole issue does an excellent job of setup.
