‘RoboWolf’: Dark Horse Combines ‘TMNT’ and ‘RoboCop’ in a 90s-Infused Action Comedy

Dark Horse Comics has something special planned for fans of ’90s retro feel. Called ‘RoboWolf – his new series is created by Jake Smith, who takes on multiple roles as the writer, artist, colorist, and letterer.
‘RoboWolf’ is a tribute to the classic media and video games of the ’80s and ’90s, blending the vibe of ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,’ ‘RoboCop,’ and a bit of ‘Final Fight.’
The series follows RoboWolf, a cyborg wolf, and his team of bank robbers as they attempt a daring rescue. RoboWolf’s daughter has been kidnapped by the villainous Colonel Massacre, and the crew must save her.
However, things get complicated as they face off against other mercenaries and ninjas, all while trying to protect a large sum of stolen money. The first issue’s cover already gives fans a taste of the action-packed adventure that blends crime, cyborgs, and high-stakes drama. It’s an exciting and nostalgic ride for fans of ’90s culture and comics.
Jake Smith praised Dark Horse Comics for their commitment to fun, creative comics, saying that when he pitched ‘RoboWolf’ — a story about a bank-robbing cyborg wolf with machine guns — they immediately loved the idea. He described Dark Horse as the kind of publisher that comic creators dream of working with.
“RoboWolf and his crew of bank-robbing criminals are in a race against time to get a fat stack of stolen money to the villainous Colonel Massacre, who has kidnapped RoboWolf’s daughter for ransom! The Colonel’s not the only one with an eye on the money, however, as our heroes will have to use their combined skills to tear through an onslaught of bloodthirsty cannibals, ninjas, robots, and more.”
‘RoboWolf’ #1 will be available in comic stores on May 21st and is currently open for pre-order at $4.99.
