Ferro City #2

The cover of this Image Comics release pitches itself perfectly as "robot science fiction pulp noir," and the art delivers exactly that mood: a robot figure in a trench coat lurches dramatically through a blue-washed urban backdrop, its transparent dome-head revealing mechanical innards while a second robotic head floats just to the side — all rendered in a striking, high-contrast blue-and-black palette. Ferro City #2 continues the "Medusa Key" arc with real style, channeling the gritty atmosphere of mid-century detective fiction through a fully mechanized world. At $2.99, this 2005 series from Image is a genuinely inventive blend of genres that earns its tagline.
