AUTOMATIC KAFKA TP (MR)
About this issue

The beloved, surrealist sci-fi—AUTOMATIC KAFKA—by bestselling writer JOE CASEY (BLOOD SQUAD SEVEN, BUTCHER BAKER THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER) and critically-acclaimed artist ASHLEY WOOD (Popbot, Les Mort 13, World War Robot) will be brought back to print for the first time in 20 years. This trade paperback will collect the complete story, feature new material, and find its new publishing home at Image Comics. Automatic Kafka follows the titular washed-up android superhero—once a celebrated member of the now defunct super-team The $tranger$—spiraling through a hyper-violent, media-soaked America. Seeking relevance, Kafka finds himself a pawn in shadowy government schemes, cult celebrity culture, and weaponized nostalgia. His desperate quest for humanity drags him straight into the wormhole of mankind’s darkest vices… and confronts him with a jaw-dropping existential truth. AUTOMATIC KAFKA is a gritty, post-modern take on superheroes, but presented as a surreal, razor-sharp takedown of fame, power, and the machinery that manufactures both. The Boys and Doom Patrol meets Mr. Robot in this must-read cult-classic. Collects AUTOMATIC KAFKA #1-9

This item is a Pre-Sale with an estimated release date of Nov 25 2026. Release dates may change, for an updated release schedule, please reference www.previewsworld.com. Cover art on Pre-Sales is not final & is subject to change.
