City of Tomorrow #2
In "Human Nature, Metal Fatigue Part Two," Howard Chaykin crafts a tense, character-driven sci-fi thriller as Tucker returns to the decaying utopia of Columbia, only to find the robotic society he once knew in chaos—its asylum inmates now ruling the streets. With his father warning of rampant crime and rival robot gangs controlling the city's underworld, Tucker must confront a trio of former government allies who thought they’d killed him, all while vowing to restore order in a place that no longer feels like home. The story’s gritty tone and sharp storytelling are brought to life by Chaykin’s dynamic art and Michelle Madsen’s evocative colors, with Chaykin’s bold cover capturing the story’s defiant, mechanical heart.
