    After a brief discussion of the Matrix Resurrections, the guys delve into Not All Robots, the excellent 5 part series by Mark Russell with art by Mike Deodato Jr. (and amazing covers by Rahzzah). Listen in as we dissect one of 2021's most interesting and relevant books.From the back of the book:In the year 2056, robots have replaced human beings in the workforce. An uneasy co-existence develops between the newly intelligent robots and the ten billion humans living on Earth. Every human family is assigned a robot upon whom they are completely reliant. What could possibly go wrong? Meet the Walters, a human family whose robot, Razorball, ominously spends his free time in the garage working on machines which they’re pretty sure are designed to kill them in this sci-fi satire from Mark Russell (The Flintstones, Second Coming) and Mike Deodato Jr. (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Resistance).
