PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This special one shot introduces the new creative team of Steven Grant, no stranger to Robocop as he adapted Frank Miller's series, and artist Anderson Ricardo. This full color one shot book contains an all-new Robocop story as well as sneak-peak at the next upcoming Robocop epic! A bored rich kid gets his kicks hacking into what's left of the Detroit grid, triggering random power failures and screwing up transit, causing various tensions that Murphy and Lewis have to cope with to maintain public order. Thwarted by Robocop, the hacker tries to hack into Robocop's systems, but finds something else instead in the depths of OCP's computer system, still online in the wake of the company's collapse. It's the next step up from Robocop: a prototype robo-soldier, literally a killing machine, that never received a human brain. But the hacker provides the brain by remote, sending the Killing Machine out into Detroit to find and destroy Robocop. To his surprise, the robotic systems dominate and the Killing Machine has its own program: total annihilation!
