Not All Robots #2

[history79]

PREVIEWSWORLD: What’s with our collective fascination with killer robots? You’re clearly not alone in your interest in them.

MARK RUSSELL: I think it’s because this is the future we all secretly suspect is waiting for us. Artificial intelligence and the singularity seem like a fait accompli at this point and if we design it to be anything like us, it will probably behave dismissively toward any form of life it regards to be lower on the food chain. Maybe this is why we don’t put any effort into solving the actual problems the human race faces. We feel like we’re at the end so we’ve collectively decided to take a senior skip day.

So "headley" is gonna be a human brain / skull in a robot chassis, right?

Deodato's art is really nice, here. Strangely, even though he's primarily drawing robots, all his figures seem so much more natural than his superhero work.

Yeah, he always went for that "chiseled super-gods" look when drawing superhero comics.
