Frank Miller's RoboCop

2006Frank Miller

3/5

While turning unproduced versions of screenplays like this into comics is a great idea, this feels like a lot of Frank Miller's later work, an incoherent mess filled with sexism and over the top machismo. This is certainly an Avatar book. The book is graphic to the point of being gross. It's filled with T and A shots of the few women involved. Even the female police officers get their clothes blown off of them in battle until they are running around in lingerie style underwear. Juan Jose Ryp has turned into a fantastic artist but his early work at Avatar while detailed was so overly busy I couldn't make heads or tails of what was happening. At this point in his career, he hadn't figured out how to make the characters in each panel stand out from the background. This is a comic best left forgotten. I'm surprised a company like Boom would reprint it.
