The Synthetics #0 looks to have all kinds of lusty gynoid fun.

Comic books are great. Comic books about android sex workers are even better.

But a successful Kickstarter comic that mixes both and takes place on the planet Mars might be the best combo yet.

Written by Julian Darius, penciled and colored by Cloves Rodrigues, with lettering both by Darius as well as Steven Legge, The Synthetics #0 looks like both an amazing read and a visual treat.

Sexy robots—on Mars!

A prequel—thus the zero—to the team’s already-published comic of the same name and taking place in the same universe as their Martian titles—The Synthetics #0 is described on its crowdfunding page as:

A robot sex worker on Mars discovers stories of robot revolt and wonders if they reveal a secret desire… and robotic destiny.

While it’s tough to say what the comic is actually about, or how explicit it might be, it is clear that a lot of passion as gone into the project: the artwork is lusciously bold, the character designs are intriguing, and the subject matter certainly is enough to stir the erotic imagination—never a bad thing!

Further tantalizing details are also on the Kickstarter campaign page, describing the story in a bit more detail:

After one of her customers shows her a movie about evil robots, she explores how often robots revolt against organic Martians in those Martians’ own fiction… and she begins to wonder whether these stories speak to a desire for robot domination.

A successful Kickstarter

While the comic is available digitally on the Kickstarter page—as well as on Comixology—for those who got in early received an actual, printed comic they can hold in their hands and signed by Julian Darius.

Comic books are indeed great, and even better when they explore the erotic potential in erotic pleasure bots. So here’s to The Synthetics and applause to its creators: what they have done and what they could inspire others to do as well—on Mars!

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
