Product Description

Product Description
"Robocop" was one of the truly great bits of movie and pop culture magic from the 1980s, and Frank Miller wanted to deliver a masterpiece with his original movie script, but Hollywood massively edited his work. In full-on action, the "Robocop" story is told as Frank Miller always intended, composed straight from the master's original writings and scripts! The vast majority of Miller's insane ideas, vicious black humor and robotic mayhem never made it to the screen, but every last bit is finally unleashed in this series! With sequential adaptation from Steven Grant and art by superstar Juan Jose Ryp, this sci-fi epic is not to be missed!

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh, 27 Feb 2007
By HFJ Rayfield (Brighton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So I was pretty excited by the prospect of this book. I'd looked for it on the internet to no avail, before I found it here on Amazon. I guess it's been re-printed perhaps? Anyway, I'd read about the mess behind the film Robocop 2 and was interested to see how Frank Miller had originally envisioned it. Now, if it was anything like this book then the film wouldn't have been any good anyway.

Firstly, the artwork is in that super detailed style. It's quite nice and well... detailed. However, it's nearly impossible to tell what is going on. There are panels where you can see it's Robocop, but you just can't tell what on Earth he's doing. It's like that all the way through. This problem really makes itself clear in any of the action scenes, of which there are at least a few. This is just underlined by the fact that there are often arrows telling you which panel to read next, it's as if the artist realized half way through that you couldn't understand the action.

The story isn't all that hot either really. Police on strike, evil woman with big knockers, lone police woman with big knockers. Even Robocop seems to have big knockers. Knockers.

And lastly, and this is the most irritating, there are typos. It's just so half arsed. There are times when it should say 'is' but is says 'if'. Obviously not the biggest thing in the world but come on, this shouldn't have been published like that. I counted three or four similar mistakes. Tut tut.

4.0 out of 5 stars An explosive blast of bloody SF madness, 20 April 2009
By Bob Grist (London) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Robocop (Hardcover)
I'm not a massive fan of the Robocop films, though I do agree that the first film is a rather excellent, twisted little tale, and I feel that this graphic novel pays great homage to Paul Verhoeven's directorial style and has, most importantly, the same ironic wit to it as seen in both Robocop and Starship Troopers.

I'm not a massive fan of Frank Miller either, though I do agree that he has written some genre-changing comics, such as The Dark Night Returns and Sin City, and I feel that his trademark dark and noir-ish storytelling is here in abundance.

And, yes, Juan Jose Ryp's artwork is extremely busy and detail-filled, but I'm a total sucker for it and find myself luxuriating in each and every panel.

Personally, therefore, I had a great time reading this explosive, hyper-gory graphic novel and found it 'unputdownable'. It's not high art, no, especially having a major character in it - a very intelligent but super-sexy doctor - who has a cleavage to rival that of Dolly Parton, but it's pure unadulterated entertainment of a fairly adult orientated nature (mostly because of the gory elements), which is also a beautifully rendered and highly detailed work of comic art.

And, yes, as the first reviewer has stated here, there are some typos, which seems sloppy to me, and some of the panels are so busy that you have to focus a little harder to make out exactly what's going on, but none of that stopped me from pouring through the book eagerly. I am, though, on the whole, quite a fan of dark and gory comic fare, so it's probably far more up my street.

Oh, and if you do enjoy this, then you'll love Warren Ellis's Black Summer, which is also beautifully illustrated by yer man there, Juan Jose Ryp.
