Energy Quest – Piston Chronicle Comics
We live in a world where resources grow thin, ice caps melt by each year, and the looming shadow of artificial intelligence becomes more science than fiction at each advancement. This comic series interpret a survival story in the face of what seems like all doom and gloom for humanity. However, this is not a story about mankind, but the legacy of what humans may leave behind them: mounts of trash – and perhaps some artificial intelligence.
Here, it is in the most unlikely form of a robotic teddy bear originally constructed as a toy for children. However do not let the cute exterior fool you. This teddy bear, named Zero, has a heightened artificial intelligence and a robust robotic endoskeleton which allows him to upgrade, teach himself and prepare for any situation using anything at his disposal to survive.
Ultimately, the character of Zero is a representation of how humans grow from children and collection of scars of all forms on their way to adulthood – only to become stronger albeit more jaded and cynical as a consequence. Likewise, Zero has re-stitched himself up but in the process he has upgraded himself and grown more resilient.
Issue 3 synopsis:
After his precarious encounter with the nefarious Hive, Zero is made aware of the mythical Immortal Battery. A battery so powerful, that it can sustain itself, and grant its user, unquantifiable energy. The real quest begins now, as Zero embarks on a journey in search of this powerful, but elusive power source. Zero must do this, now with the help of a stranger, a spectral figure who seems to know more than she lets on. However, with always a shortage of batteries, and now on the run from the Hive, Zero has no other choice but to follow the spectre across the ever-perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland in search of the Immortal Battery.
