AUTOMATIC KAFKA TP (MR) (25 Nov Release)

The beloved¸ surrealist sci-fi—AUTOMATIC KAFKA—by bestselling writer JOE CASEY (BLOOD SQUAD SEVEN¸ BUTCHER BAKER THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER) and critically-acclaimed artist ASHLEY WOOD (Popbot¸ Les Mort 13¸ World War Robot) will be brought back to print for the first time in 20 years. This trade paperback will collect the complete story¸ feature new material¸ and find its new publishing home at Image Comics. Automatic Kafka follows the titular washed-up android superhero—once a celebrated member of the now defunct super-team The $tranger$—spiraling through a hyper-violent¸ media-soaked America. Seeking relevance¸ Kafka finds himself a pawn in shadowy government schemes¸ cult celebrity culture¸ and weaponized nostalgia. His desperate quest for humanity drags him straight into the wormhole of mankind’s darkest vices… and confronts him with a jaw-dropping existential truth. AUTOMATIC KAFKA is a gritty¸ post-modern take on superheroes¸ but presented as a surreal¸ razor-sharp takedown of fame¸ power¸ and the machinery that manufactures both. The Boys and Doom Patrol meets Mr. Robot in this must-read cult-classic. Collects AUTOMATIC KAFKA #1-9
