The Kill Lock

In The Kill Lock, a 2022–2023 two-issue series from Komics Initiative, four broken robots are bound by a shared execution protocol: if any one of them dies, they all die. This claustrophobic premise drives a taut, character-focused sci-fi drama about outcasts trapped in a desperate alliance. Writer and artist Livio Ramondelli crafts a stark, intimate world of mechanical beings struggling for survival and identity, making this a striking, self-contained story that distills big ideas into a compact, emotionally resonant package.
