- Robot 13, a quarterly comic written by Thomas Hall with art by Daniel Bradford, is described by its creator thusly: "On the surface, the comic is about a skull headed robot who fights giant monsters from Greek Mythology. From a storytelling standpoint, however, it's somewhat a reworking of Frankenstein meeting Homer's Odyssey- it's the story of a thing created by Science who goes on a Hero's journey of sorts to find out who he really is..." It looks cool. Check out ComicMix's coverage as well.
