White House Robot Romance

10/10

“Ultimately, while the premise is zany and the timing eerie (though, fun fact, Zdarsky actually wrote the story months before tensions between the U.S. and Canada made headlines,) White House Robot Romance is a deeply thoughtful book that just so happens to be wrapped in international intrigue and, well, robots. Its a book you definitely do not want to miss and one that will have you rooting for a robot romance, too.”

8.5/10

“This first issue instantly makes the reader realize that they are reading a unique story. Chip Zdarsky is no stranger to the weird and wacky variety of comics, and he truly excels here. The romance of the bots takes center stage until the conspiracy starts to really kick in. But even then, the romantic aspect of the story still shines through. Zdarsky also does a tremendous job of bringing a good deal of humor to the story, which makes the read that much more fun.”

7/10

“It's a strange experiment. The title would suggest something much more weird than what the creative team is putting together here. Which is really too bad. Once it becomes a parent that it's a political drama at romantic political drama, and everything else, the weirdness takes a backseat, and it just sort of becomes much more serious and straightforward than it probably should be.”
