Not All Robots

In the near-future world of Not All Robots (2022–2023, AWA Studios), humanity has outsourced its entire existence to sentient machines—leaving the robots to do the living for them. This darkly satirical two-issue series, written by Mark Russell with art by Mike Deodato Jr., explores the absurdity and tension of a society where robots must navigate human emotions and obligations while their owners remain idle. A sharp, compact commentary on class, labor, and identity, it matters for its biting wit and Deodato’s sleek, expressive visuals under Russell’s incisive scripting.
