Legendary Comics and WEBTOON Team Up for New Ren-Punk Comic ROB
Legendary Comics has teamed up with WEBTOON for a new web comic series from Richard Dinnick called Rob. The series premieres on February 3 and is defined as a “ren-punk” world. This means we’ll get bows and arrows fighting more modern technology. That’s always fun to watch. The art for the series comes from Magda Price and Miguel Sepulveda with color by Enrica Eren Angiolini and letters by Tyler Smith. The comic also has a composer, Andrew M. Edwards.
Rob is set in a “ren-punk” world far in the future where the Earth’s resources have been plundered. Bows and arrows collide with scavenged modern technology. In a desperate bid to protect his home country of Albion from the devious French Gauls and their invasion plans, Rob, his mentor Sir Dido and her niece, the trainee druid Blondel, embark on a perilous sabotage mission across the English Channel. When this goes horribly wrong and Sir Dido is injured, Rob is forced to take matters into his own hands and risk everything on a quest across his broken and bizarre world to seek a fabled weapon that may not even exist. Rob is joined by friends that those familiar with Robin Hood’s origins in medieval “gestes” will recognize and has deadly and mysterious enemies at his heels. Rob is an exciting roller-coaster adventure into a world strange yet familiar, visually stunning and creatively astonishing.
You can check out some of the art for Rob below, and I really dig it. You can read the first three chapters on February 3 on WEBTOON with new chapters every week. You can download the WEBTOON app for free on Android and iOS or use the browser version if you prefer.
