Comic Book Review: Silicon Bandits # 2
After developing game changing breakthroughs in the field of robotics, Kenji and Aurora created the C-47s, the most advanced androids the world has ever seen, dwarfing anything else on the market. In return for their tireless efforts, their boss, Etan Crane, illegally fired them, knowing that his political clout and vice grip on the legal system ensured he would face no consequences for breaking their lifetime contracts. So Kenji and Aurora agreed to enact revenge by stealing the source of his wealth and power, his supply of the precious material, gallium, thereby ruining him, and making them rich beyond measure in the process. Their secret for success? Four C-47 androids disguised as Aurora’s family, named Graham, Regina, Jade, and Milo. However, with their plan ready to enact, Johnny, a mysterious figure from Kenji’s war days, shows up unexpectedly. We know that Johnny is in trouble, owing a lot of money to violent criminals, with the bill past due. What is unclear is why Kenji is hesitant to be rid of this obvious danger to their plan, especially given Johnny’s unscrupulous nature. What secret from Kenji’s past is he hiding, and how will Johnny’s presence impact their plans?
Comic Book Review: Silicon Bandits #1
In a future where androids are so advanced that the law requires them to have translucent skin to differentiate them from humans, and food can be 3D printed, four trillionaires have divided control of the United States among themselves into quadrants, constantly competing for resources and seeking any advantages over their rivals. As humanity evolves, so too does its capacity for violence, and after a fifth world war has left much of the planet desolate, we bear witness to the dangers of unfettered economic contests, and the natural results of creating our own replacements. Welcome to the world of Silicon Bandits from Magma Comics.
