Robocop Wild Child (2005) 1D CGC 9.8

Paper: White

Label #4335321004

Photo cover. Written by Steven Grant. Art by Carlos Ferreira. RoboCop and Officer Lewis meet the threat they never expected -- Officer Lewis' sister! RoboCop super-scribe Steven Grant and new artist Carlos Ferreira serve up this one shot story that puts Officer Lewis front-and-center of the action. A badass young woman, who calls herself Heaven, and her gang swing into Detroit to take advantage of the general lack of authority -- the cops are still on strike, city government might as well not exist, OCP is defunct -- to make their mark. They run recklessly over everyone and everything until RoboCop crosses their path, and then Heaven dedicates herself to making him pay for getting in their way. This gets complicated for Lewis, because Heaven is her little sister, who, always spoiled and uncontrollable, ran away years ago. Things come to a head when Heaven traps RoboCop and plans to take his head for a souvenir, and it falls to Lewis to save him, but it looks like the only way she can do that...is to kill Heaven! 16 pages, full color. Mature Readers. Cover price $2.99.

They say there is no honor left in the world. They say there are no honorable samurai left in the world. But they are all wrong. There is at least one left -- Samuree! This storyline has been crafted to introduce new readers to Samuree and introduce all readers to her most dangerous arch-enemy yet! An epic story that stretches over hundreds of centuries, Samuree is a great introduction to the work of Neal Adams. In this issue: Samuree, a sixteen-year-old martial arts master, finds herself trapped in a web of vengeance, hatred, honor and betrayal. She is the only thing standing in the way of a villain who has waited centuries for revenge. Not your run-of-the-mill villain, his sense of honor and ethics is not too different from Samuree's. But our heroine faces a terrible decision -- can she stand in the way of his vengeance, when vengeance lies at the core of her being? Written by Peter Stone, with art by Rodolfo Damaggio, Neal Adams and Saw Nan. Cover by Mark Beachum. Cover price $2.50.
