I, Robot #2 (Free)
REVIEW – “Would you trust a Robot who kills humans, but chooses not to?”
I, Robot #2 is a comic based on a robot who could kill humans, but chooses against it. I would not recommend this comic for children due to its infrequent fantasy violence and mature, suggestive themes. This app would be great for those who are fans of the first I, Robot as well as those who love futuristic themed comics. This comic is a remix of a previous futuristic comic and is drawn by Erich Owen. This app downloaded quickly and upon opening this app, I was greeted with a graphic of the original comic that this is based on. The graphics of this comic were extremely well drawn and came across nicely on a mobile format. Each page of the comic did take a little longer than most comics to load, but I would attribute that to the high quality of the graphics.
I found the story to be very interesting and became a page-turner during the climatic fight scenes. I could zoom in on each comic to get a better view by double tapping the screen or pinching it to achieve the zoom I wanted. Tapping on the tap left screen would navigate users to the screen list as well as the ability to go back to the beginning of the comic. Since this comic is a bit lengthy, I would have liked the ability to save my place with a bookmark. Also, this app is missing the ability to move quickly through pages instead of individually swiping through each page. All in all, I thought this app was great for comic lovers, especially those who love intense futuristic battles between humans and robots. The graphics were great and the interface focused solely on the comic strips.
