The Complete Popbot

A sprawling, high-concept science fiction epic from IDW, The Complete Popbot launched in 2008 as a single oversized issue. Created by the singularly talented Ashley Wood, the series blends his distinctive painted and sketchbook-style art with a surreal narrative about a robotic pop star and a world of celebrity, violence, and synthetic life. Though it began with just one issue, its ambitious, dense storytelling and Wood's unique visual language make it a notable artifact of early 2000s creator-owned comics.
