Joe<\/em>, will unleash his imagination on the wonderful world of\u00a0<strong><em>Go-Bots<\/em><\/strong>! Launching in October,\u00a0<em>Go-Bots<\/em>\u00a0will be the first story to feature classic toy and cartoon characters like Leader-1, Scooter, Turbo, and Cy-Kill\u2019s Renegades in over three decades!<\/p>\n<p>In the new five-issue series, the existence of Go-Bots on Earth has changed humans\u2019 way of life. They chauffeur us around. They protect us from harm. They do the jobs that are too boring or dangerous for us. They fight our wars for us. They are friends for the lonely. The only thing they don\u2019t do is dream for us\u2026 but that could change any day now. For a generation, Leader-1 and the Guardians have said that they were here to help us\u2026 but as they become more integrated into our society, the question must be asked: Are they here to replace us?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a dream project \u2013 I\u2019m writing, drawing, coloring, and hand-lettering this book. It\u2019s a labor of love,\u201d says Scioli. \u201cWhen these characters were conceived of in the \u201980s, the idea of robots with human personalities was science fiction. Now, it\u2019s history. The world of living machines is here \u2013 we\u2019re living it. The time is right for\u00a0<em>Go-Bots<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAvant-garde creator Tom Scioli has been pushing the comic book storytelling medium for nearly two decades now and his work on\u00a0<em>Go-Bots<\/em>\u00a0is yet another watershed moment in his career,\u201d says IDW Associate Publisher David Hedgecock. \u201cIt is a testament to the strong collaboration between IDW Publishing and Hasbro, that projects like this can exist on licensed properties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For information on how to secure copies of the monthly\u00a0<em>Go-Bots<\/em>\u00a0comic book series, please contact your local comic shop or visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/idwpublishing.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=5792cac24346d164eb0cf6ad2&amp;id=0ad6a7fa76&amp;e=2a8ce31b48\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/idwpublishing.us1.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D5792cac24346d164eb0cf6ad2%26id%3D0ad6a7fa76%26e%3D2a8ce31b48&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1532534025205000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFNfcwQiYt09uoZjMQB2S2dinpgmQ\">www.comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find a store near you.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IDW Celebrates the 35th Anniversary of Classic Toy Line with a Sci-Fi Epic Written and Drawn by Tom Scioli SAN DIEGO, CA (July&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7716,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[17,16],"tags":[235,96,23],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/popculturenetwork.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/unnamed-4-2.jpg?fit=1318%2C2000","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14555,"url":"http:\/\/popculturenetwork.com\/wordpress\/2019\/02\/22\/comic-book-chronicles-ep-302-alls-fair-at-toy-fair\/","url_meta":{"origin":7715,"position":0},"title":"Comic Book Chronicles Ep. 302: All&#8217;s Fair At Toy Fair","author":"DiRT","date":"February 22, 2019","format":"video","excerpt":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yrdVjoR3iEw Welcome to another episode of\u00a0Comic Book Chronicles!
