Murder Drones #2

Murder Drones #2 is part of the digital comic series released as a companion to the popular indie animated web series created by Liam Vickers and produced by Glitch Productions. The series debuted in 2021, set on the post-apocalyptic exoplanet Copper 9, where autonomous 'Worker Drones' attempt to survive the predations of 'Disassembly Drones.' The comic series serves to expand the lore of this dark sci-fi universe, utilizing the same distinctive, edgy aesthetic that blends gothic horror with slapstick mechanical comedy.

The visual style of the series is heavily influenced by early 2000s internet culture and anime tropes, characterized by sharp, angular character designs and a moody, monochromatic color palette punctuated by vibrant neon accents. As a web-based production, the comic was designed to engage the existing animation fanbase, providing deeper context into the complex history of the JCJenson corporation and the origins of the drones' sentience. It was well-received by the online animation community for its consistency with the series' frantic pacing and cryptic world-building.
