A robot’s search beyond the walls

In this post-human world, robots have inherited the routines once built around human needs. Abraham Lincoln is unsettled by that settled existence: convinced people may still be somewhere beyond the walls, he sets out across the Earth to look for them. The search also opens questions about who—or what—counts as alive, what gives existence purpose, and why earlier travelers have not returned. This paperback collects issues #1–4 of the series, establishing its central journey through a landscape where the absence of humanity shapes both the robots’ lives and Abe’s hopes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in post-apocalyptic science-fiction comics centered on robots.
  • For those drawn to quests involving the search for humanity and questions of purpose and life.

Book overview

When humans disappear and robots flourish, one robot dares to go beyond the walls to find the humans who might still be alive in the sci-fi adventure of the year, where WALL-E meets Fallout.

Humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us. The robots that once helped us are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abraham Lincoln. Abe is haunted by the thought that there must be something more out there--that somewhere, human beings might still exist. After nearly getting killed, he's determined to wander the Earth until he finds them. . . or gets recycled trying. Join him on an epic quest to learn who lives beyond the walls, why no one ever comes back, and what it means to be truly alive.

Artist Andy MacDonald (Wonder Woman, Doctor Strange), and writers Mark Elijah Rosenberg (Approaching The Unknown, Year Million) and Matthew Rosenberg (WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US / 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank) bring you an ongoing story about finding purpose, holding onto hope, and really lonely robots.
