The series, set in the world of the original RoboCop films, is apparently set immediately following the events of the first film, and either takes place before, or totally ignores, the sequels that came prior to this year’s reboot.
Check it out below, along with some official text from BOOM! to give context.
Just wanted to let you know that Episode 6 of our YouTube series, Buzz on BOOM!, is up! It features our host, Stephanie Hocutt, and a guest appearance by visual effects expert and creative director, Fon Davis. Fon has worked on all of the Star Wars films, Galaxy Quest, the new Guardians of the Galaxy, and many more cool movies! He’s on hand to help us talk about our new RoboCop ongoing series, which is launching today.
Here’s the official solicitation text for the issue, out today:
Dive into the harsh world of Old Detroit with RoboCop and his partner, Anne Lewis, following the events of the original film. A deadly and charismatic criminal, Killian, is released from jail. He went into the slammer before RoboCop hit the streets, and now he wants to take out the biggest cop in the city. When OCP wants to take guns off the street, Killian sees it as his opportunity to take on the former Alex Murphy.
