RoboCop returns to comics
Cyborg lawman RoboCop will return in comic books from Dynamite Entertainment.
Dynamite today announced an agreement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures to develop a new original comic book series based on the “RoboCop” franchise, which launched in 1987 with the feature film directed by Paul Verhoeven.
Robocop follows the machine/man hybrid Officer Murphy as he tries to clean up a crime-infested Detroit.
“What makes ‘Robocop’ such an interesting canvas is that the series has always explored larger themes including gentrification, the media and human nature,” Dynamite President and Publisher Nick Barrucci said in a release. “All while delivering a riveting and visceral experience.”
“RoboCop” spawned three feature films, a television series, a cartoon series, and multiple comic-book adaptations. The creative team for the new series has not yet been determined.
