This entry-level comic book shows a robot emerging from a crashed rocket ship and navigating the strange surroundings while looking for its friend. The text is sparse, consisting mostly of "blip" and other sound-effect words. The robot encounters strange creatures and adventures aplenty, but parts of the story don't quite add up. Nevertheless, the clean, detailed graphics will keep emerging readers interested.
