A.B.C. Warriors: The Mek Files #1

A bold assembly of battle-scarred war robots — the ABC Warriors, built to survive Atomic, Bacterial, and Chemical warfare — looms across this striking Mick McMahon cover, surrounding a defiant young boy who stands fists-clenched at the fore as if daring the world to step closer. The central hulking mek bearing the "ABC" badge and the chained, red-starred robot flanking it are rendered with McMahon's characteristically gritty, energetic linework, while a cloaked figure and additional warriors press in from the edges. Collecting stories including "The Retreat From Volgow!", this 2014 Rebellion volume is a terrific entry point into one of British comics' most inventive sci-fi ensembles.
