Well, to start off : It's pretty quirky : We learn immediately that the only "living" things in the world are robots, but they are acting all human... Not such an interesting start imho :/But... of course something happens, and bugger me nivvits, it actually works.. We see our Hu-bots (human robots ;)) welcoming the Kl-aar, but surely our main character doesn't feel like they're here for changing stories and bring out the peace pipe..So what we get is a fun-filled (love the human/robot jokes), a...
I like the concept and D4VE as a character the robot lingo was funny but I just found the first three issues quite slow but it picked up towards the end
Started slow, finished hilariously. I wasn't sure at first but it grew on me and even writing this now (a week later) I still find myself smiling while remembering it and telling myself I can burn through this again quickly (it's only 5 issues long). Do yourself a favor and give this a read. It's a quirky twist on an oh-so-familiar plot line (man creates robots, robots gain AI, robots destroy man) that won't leave you disappointed.
Amazing art and lots and lots of pop culture references. But I didn't like the story that much, it also made me feel sick somehow... it is hard to describe it. Anyway it is worth for the art alone.
The robots rose up and destroyed us...but were unable to escape the legacy of human thinking, so continue to exist in a simulacrum of late capitalism, where Bad Boys 5 has just been released, mild cursing runs to 'Jobsdamned' and 'William H Gates', and a robot husband haplessly claims the shop was out of oil despite it being the only thing they consume. D4VE was a war hero once; now he's a schlub with an office job he hates, an arsehole boss he hates, and a newly-ordered teenage son who doesn't
3.5 stars
Funny as hell.
Super fun & funny!
A very funny and clever science fiction premise in which robots kill off all the humans, but inherit all their traits and first-world problems. I felt the alien invasion plot was a bit thin, but it was chiefly there as motivation for our main character. I loved the father-son relationship here, and the son's chronic masterbation was hilarious. A fun book with very good art that was at times just a bit too dense. A good choice for nice laugh or two.
This felt like a fun idea for a comedy sketch (robots wipe out biological life and then proceed to live a humdrum work-complain-suburban-life existence just like ours) stretched out well past remaining funny, without being taken anywhere interesting. Instead the concept gets bolted (along with a bunch of Deadpool-wannabe crudity) onto what's basically a standard plot about a male loser (re)discovering his inner badass and regaining the respect of his sensible wife, obnoxious teenage son and disa...
This comic book is SUCH fun. It’s not “perfect”, but still, in a sense it’s absolutely perfect. Congratulations to the creators. This is a masterwork. Clever, hilarious, original, bold, creative — and full of visual inventions. Down to the small details. Just wonderful. A joy of a book. Squarely in the 5% of truly high-quality comic books with brains (95% of them is brainless, sorry comic book industry, and thank you US education system).Strangely, the author does not mention this book in his li...
This graphic novel started off slow and weird but it really started to grow on me. But even though it did grow on me, I didn't love it. It was fun and I enjoyed it but it wasn't Saga or Rat Queens good. I'd still recommend D4ve if you're into graphic novels and/or love computers and technology.
D4VE is an old bad ass killer robot who is now a office drone. Follow this droid as he deadls with his family and a small alien invasion.The story is rather fun and basic. Silly dialogue and funny one liners really make this a fun read.The art is solid.
I like robots yelling BALLS and punching aliens just as much as the next fully-grown man adult, but also meh.
So the robot apocalypse came and went. The robots wiped us out, then went on to wipe out all other life in the galaxy. When all that was done... they sank into boring, mundane, humdrum lives just like us poor humans used to live (before our extermination).D4VE was one of the warrior elite, but now he has a soul-crushing day job and a family who hates him. When a new race of aliens shows up to invade and wipe out the now-defenseless robotkind, it's the best thing that could have happened to him.D...
The setting for this GN was way more interesting than the plot to me. But then, I'm a setting person. IE has conquered all, INCLUDING all known alien worlds. Humans are extinct. Robots are life. Our protagonist used to be a warrior, as the robots took over, but now that they've won, is flailing at a deadend job with a crappy boss, and a failing marriage. And then he's needed again.Colorful, filthy, pretty navel-gazing, I didn't make it all the way to the end.
A funny story about Aliens invading a robotic society. and some funny moments ensue. An enjoyable read, not on Saga's level, but funny enough. I recieved an advanced copy from Netgalley.com and the publisher
Too much profanity for my liking. Also, although the premise was initially appealing, the implementation was more pessimistic than I expected and the characters were not as relatable as I had hoped. There is probably someone who would like this story, but it's not for me.
I really liked D4ve! The storyline was well thought out and interesting even if it wasn't so original (Terminator, anyone?). D4ve is a robot who works in a corporate office doing menial work and he hates it, he used to be a defense bot. He used to beat up the bad guys and save the world... a lot. Now things are quieted down and the robots think they are the only ones in the universe. It turns out they're wrong though and an alien species tries to take over E4rth. Of course D4ve is the only one w...
This review covers both volumes in this series) I’ve said before that I’m not one to laugh out loud at things I read, but then I get my hands on graphic novels like D4VE and question whether it’s just that I have high standards for humor, or whether it’s just juvenile humor through robots that tickles my fancy. Anyway, D4VE is a robot that was part of the massive robot rebellion on Earth. The bots wiped out all the humans, then explored the stars and wiped out all the aliens as well. They’ve now...
