The Allreds are Expanding Their ‘Madmaniverse’ in a New Series, X-RAY ROBOT
December 9, 2019The Allreds, Michael and Laura, along with Nate Piekos, are coming together to bring an all-new limited series to Dark Horse Comics, one that will ultimately build on the cartoonist’s universe, X-Ray Robot.
The series centers on Max, a family man, who is seeking a more-interesting life. While conducting a new experiment, the fabric of his reality is torn before his eyes and a robotic figure claiming to be his 277-year-old self appears. The robot has the ability to ‘x-ray’ multiple dimensions. The two dive into an interdimensional, universe-saving road trip, through past and future, which also includes a fight against a nihilistic entity from another dimension, one which seeks to take all life to its pre-‘Big Bang’ status.
“X-Ray Robot expands on my “Madmaniverse”. Some of the threads are more obvious than others, but most of my creator-owned work ties together,” said M. Allred. “It shouldn’t surprise anyone to have someone familiar show up from my other books like, It Girl, The Atomics, Spaceman, Mr. Gum or Red Rocket 7.”
X-Ray Robot #1 (of 4) goes on sale on March 25, 2020, and each issue will also include a bonus 3D pinup as well.
