As the planet faces annihilation, Robot Zita makes a selfless choice—stepping in to take Zita’s place, proving that heroism isn’t defined by who you are, but by what you’re willing to sacrifice. Written and illustrated by Ben Hatke, with coloring by Kean Soo, Tory Woolcott, Anthony VanArsdale, Stephanie Yue, and Rosie Schmiedicke, the story reaches a heart-pounding climax where courage and loss are measured in the quietest of acts.
