Posted on July 16, 2024

In recent years, AI has become a subject of major discourse, with deeply concerning ramifications for art, technology, ethics, labor, economics, and probably countless other areas. But instead of worrying about whether all our creative endeavors will be replaced by computers or the events of Terminator will come to fruition, let’s instead focus on what sci-fi fans have known for decades: self-aware robots are really, really cool (at least, in fiction). Of course, few media embrace these quite like comic books. We’ve selected some of our favorite sentient androids, A.I.s, and other robotic entities across a variety of eras and publishers. Whether you’ve spent years pondering the moral implications of Blade Runner or just love talking to Siri, we’ve selected some of our favorite comics to feature autonomous machines.
