DYNAMITE TO PUBLISH ROBOCOP COMICS

Dynamite Entertainment has announced an agreement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures to develop a new comic book series based on the Robocop franchise.

"What makes ROBOCOP such an interesting canvas is that the series has always explored larger themes including gentrification, the media and human nature," said Dynamite president and publisher Nick Barrucci, "all while delivering a riveting and visceral experience."

According to Dynamite, it is "currently reviewing creative options, including their writing and art team."

The franchise launched in 1987 with the feature film Robocop, directed by Paul Verhoeven. Two additional feature films and multiple television shows followed the cyborg law enforcer as he battled to clean up crime-ridden Detroit.
