Issue Description

How far can a free-thinking, freewheeling android super-hero travel before he sees his own reflection staring back at him? Funhouse mirrors abound in the ultimate search for the strangest secret of them all. Featuring most unlikely guest-stars, as well as special dispensations for every reader who's late to the party.

Tragically, this is the final issue. The cancellation word came down with enough time to prepare to allow writer Joe Casey and artist Ashley Wood to create a story with themselves inserted into it and actually dealing with the Automatic Kafka character they created as they explain to Kafka that he is a comic book character, that he has been cancelled, and why it's better for him to just fade completely into oblivion than to remain in the Wildstorm ether for other writers to later abuse.

Automatic Kafka (2002)

Publisher

Wildstorm

Volume Description

This innovative, thought provoking and outright bizarre series focuses on Automatic Kafka; a robotic superhero from a JLA/Avengers-esque superhero team called the $trangers that disbanded years ago.

This brilliant title would tragically be cancelled in just 9 issues. At least Casey and Wood got to end it well.

Note: The $trangers would later at least be referred to in another Wildstorm book, The Intimates; also by Joe Casey, also very good, and also quickly cancelled.
