iFanboy Reviews Lady Robotika

This comic is not to be taken too seriously, which is a good thing.  Reading this first issue reminded me that some comic books are just meant to be goofy, ridiculous fun and that’s exactly what this is.  Full of references to pop culture and Miss Wiedlin herself, Lady Robotika #1 follows the former Go-Go as she is abducted after a concert by aliens who are big fans of hers and Earth pop-culture in general.  That’s about the extent of the premise here.  It’s refreshing to see a comic that is shallow simply because it wants to be and doesn’t require a whole lot of background or depth to weigh it down.

There is a funny appearance by a fat man with a five o’clock shadow running out of a bar named Joe’s who wonders if Jane and her companion are glowing (during their abduction by tractor beam) because they work at the nuclear plant too.  Wonder who that could be?  I’ll most likely be picking up the second issue, because we need more comics that don’t take themselves seriously and are there to entertain us with fantasy.
