By Benjamin Morin — In a comics landscape that is continually flooded with new indie sci-fi books, it can be difficult to stand out. Books like Tartarus, Ascender, We Only Find Them When They’re Dead, and many more tend to occupy the frontrunners for the genre, which unfortunately leaves titles like X-Ray Robot in the more niche categories. X-Ray Robot is the kind of book that seems written for a very particular audience yet should be widely read and experienced. I personally went in with no expectations other than a passing acknowledgement of the name Mike Allred and came out pleasantly surprised.
