"Out of the Blue" - This is the big one, the debut issue of Tekno Comix's first superhero title. Isaac Asimov's I-Bots blends the science fiction concepts that made Isaac Asimov the master of the genre with the action and intensity of superhero comics. Brought to life through the talent of legendary artist George Perez, additional creative development from comics veteran Howard Chaykin, and the stellar scripting talents of Steven Grant, this book delivers superheroes like you've never seen them before. Isaac Asimov's I-Bots follows the adventures of five young android heroes hunted by the evil forces that created them, and adored by a public that worships them. Bound by the Three Laws of Robotics, they find themselves forced to defend a world they don't understand. Are they truly heroes of the people or are they just pawns in the schemes of evil men? After spoiling a bold kidnapping, the I-Bots begin to discover the conspiratorial forces shaping their destiny. They follow the trail back to WorldTech, the shadowy mega-corporation that spawned them, and then a violent confrontation leads to more clues about the true nature of the I-Bots. Who are they, and why were they created? Characters: Killaine; Stonewall; Psy-4; Radiant; Itazura. Creative development by Howard Chaykin, script by Steven Grant, pencils by George Perez, inks by Joe Rubinstein and Mike Witherby. Plus: preface & pin-up by Howard Chaykin, and a biography of Isaac Asimov. Cover by George Perez. Cover price $1.95.
