Summary: In this first action-packed issue of the new bi-monthly mini series, we start off on Gear Bolt, a vast land composed entirely of a monstrous, constantly rotating clock gear. In the progressive, hi-tech Kingdom of Botica, it’s the anniversary of the “New Deal,” a peace treaty unifying the only 5 kingdoms of Gear Bolt, and everyone who is anyone is in attendance! We meet Samberry, a royal assistance droid who secretly shares a close bond with the son of King Bulger, and heir to the Botica throne, Prince Toji. The celebration is brought to a shattering halt when the Kingdom suddenly comes under attack by a mysterious sorcerer known only as LOCK and his minions, who are in search of a mysterious “device” that he claims the King is hiding. The attack leaves Sam separated from the prince, alone on the outskirts of the kingdom for the first time ever. In a place where magic is extinct, will there be a force to challenge LOCK? Will Sam survive and find her way back to Prince Toji? The epic saga of a robot’s quest back home starts here in this first spectacular, action-packed issue!
