In what universe do whimsical Disney-esque princesses have anything to do with an iron-hearted robotic army? The universe of Robots Vs. Princesses, of course! The mashup you never knew you needed, follows a headstrong princess and a rebellious robot as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
Lone robot and Decimator defector Wheeler is seeking freedom from an oppressive war when he finds a friend in Plucky Princess Zara. This unlikely friendship sets in motion events that will pit the spritely cleverness of fairy tale princesses against the raw power of giant robots. Amid the Mid-Summer Recital, the day when a Princess dazzles the kingdom with her song, the first shots are fired! With things looking grim, Zara and her friends must rally to save the Harmonian Capitol from Tyrannis. One shall stand, one shall fall, and the worlds of Harmonia and Chromia will never be the same.
Writer Todd Matthy manages to seamlessly blend the light-hearted tone of fairy tale princesses with the menacing nature of evil robots in this clever series. Coupled with the captivating imagery by Nicolas Chapuis, this trade paperback is the perfect jumping-on point for new readers and should not be missed!
