Leader of a team of oddballs, the cybernetic, anthropomorphic RoboWolf returns from a successful bank heist to find his daughter missing, and sets out on a mission with his team to find her, and exact bloody vengeance every step of the way.

There’s a lot to like in RoboWolf #1, the first of a four part series. It’s an acid trip akin to a direct-to-video 80s movie, albeit one with a budget that matches its ambition (and cover art). However, like those aforementioned, low budget b-movies it takes so much inspiration from, it doesn’t just frequently step over the line of bad taste, as much as it completely leaps over it, repeatedly. Its humour doesn’t often land either; what should be a fun, raucous and unpredictably surreal story just ends up feeling like it’s doing everything it can simply to shock.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s moments where it works, but on the whole it’s just not as fun as it should be.

Kudos must go to creator Jake Smith for coming up with such a batshit insane premise and a massively kooky cast of characters, however; no doubt this issue will sell on the strength of that gorgeous cover alone, with the interior art being just as hyperactive and colourful too.
