Two Nations Hang in the Balance in White House Robot Romance #3 Preview (Exclusive)

Earlier this year, Chip Zdarsky pit America against Canada and brought two robots together in an unconventional love story and wrapped it all up in a bow of sci-fie and political intrigue with White House Robot Romance. The series, which tells the unconventional love story between Chef-9 and Service-1 has thrilled readers with its action and charm and now, the story is heading into its finale with issue three out in January. Ahead of the explosive conclusion, ComicBook has an exclusive preview of White House Robot Romance #3 โ€” and while this may be the finale, things look like theyโ€™ve gotten more intense than ever.

Issue #2 of White House Robot Romance ended with Service-1 separated from Chef-9 after being pursued and attacked by the Americans, but more than that, a little bit of reprogramming with a new mission: to take out the president and his staff. From the looks of things in this preview of issue #3, final order cutoff for which is Monday, November 17th, it looks like Service-1 is about to make that happen right before the Americans can make their own next big move.

Tensions Look Higher Than Ever in White House Robot Romance #3

Things certainly look like theyโ€™re about to get crazy in White House Robot Romance #3 โ€” and things certainly donโ€™t look good for the Americans in this preview โ€” but while we donโ€™t see Chef-9 in these pages, this is still a romance story so fans should be ready to see what theyโ€™re up to as well. After all, readers have definitely fallen for the robot pair, something Zdarsky said he hoped everyone would do when the project was first announced.

โ€œYes, t hereโ€™s science fiction and political intrigue here, but the heart is an old-fashioned romance,โ€ Zdarsky said. โ€œGetting to write the love story between Service-1 and Chef-9 and see their love come to life thanks to Rachael and Tamra has been an absolute delight. I hope everyone falls for these two the way I have!โ€
