From the arguably corrupt judicial system that sentenced our main characters to the Wraiths sent to decimate entire worlds for dabbling in immoralities, the world of The Kill Lock is an interesting one. This sprinkling of new information is masterfully done and will keep you on your toes you’ll never know what will happen next.Īlthough most of the focus is on the characters themselves, there is still a significant amount of worldbuilding. Throughout this book, the reader’s interpretation of these characters will constantly change.
But as Ramondelli sprinkles flashbacks in here and there, our superficial view of these characters are questioned. Of course, there’s the mystery of why a child would be sentenced to death, but the rest of the characters’ criminal past isn’t questionable. The plot of The Kill Lock starts relatively black and white. Beyond just being a quirky bunch, they’re deep, complicated, and grow over the course of the book, especially with the sprinkling of flashbacks revealing the criminal acts that put them in this situation. But it’s in these antagonistic moments where we get to the bones of these characters. It’s a hodgepodge of characters whose personalities constantly grate on each other. Readers are presented with a wide range of personalities, from an ex-soldier, a regretful addict, and a psychotic mastermind, to a child who has barely had a taste for life. Right off the bat, it’s apparent that Ramondelli knows how to make a character. The Kill Lock is published by IDW Publishing and written by Livio Ramondelli, with art by Ramondelli and letters by Tom B. This precipitates a search for an elusive cure, one that puts the four of them repeatedly in harm’s way. But, to make matters worse, one of the four criminals is just a child.
Linking four very different robots from very different walks of life is pretty much a death sentence. This bit of programming links their systems so that if one of them dies, they all die. In this sci-fi graphic novel, four robots banished for their crimes are given the worst punishment possible, the Kill Lock.
