I should go walk off this boner

I don't want to worry anyone, but I think this time travel story featuring Robocop doesn't make logical sense.
It's interesting to find myself not getting along with Robocop/Terminator: Kill Human, as how does one say with a straight face that something "does not respect the Terminator continuity"?  This is a franchise that has Genesys in it, after all - and strange but true, Genesys is actually a massive rip-off of Terminator: 2029-1984, a Zack "Not Joss, But Close" Whedon comic from 2011, which is not actually as dreadful as I imagined it might be - surely the highest praise I have ever given anything.  That comic was about a character from the future traveling back in time to the events of the original Terminator movie and OMGod what is it with me and rambling posts about Robocop?  Anyway

Kill Human starts with the rogue AI Skynet finally winning its campaign of extermination against the human race, and though this first chapter sets up an intriguing spin on the cornerstone premise of the Terminator franchise while delivering a neat twist, it doesn't actually explain how this alternate timeline in which Skynet is victorious comes to pass, as not winning the war against the humans is not only the aforementioned cornerstone of Terminator lore, but the comic itself later references events in Terminator 2 which can't have happened if Skynet won the war, as it was losing the war that prompted it to take the actions that caused the events of the first two movies.  It's a bizarre breaking of the grandfather paradox at the heart of the franchise that was entirely avoidable and is never explained, much like Robocop traveling through time despite... well, despite being Robocop and not being covered in organic matter - not being covered in organic matter is kind of the cornerstone premise of Robocop, too.
Terminator doesn't have many rules, and there's no reason to think you can't break those rules or subvert expectations that those rules will be adhered to in order to tell a story, but Kill Human doesn't do that and tries to have it both ways: it disregards the closed temporal loop in which Skynet attempts to prevent its own destruction and instead ends up guaranteeing it, but by the second issue predicates the rest of the series on those same elements still being in place.
Maybe Robocop's line "Show me how the time travel works" is some sort of meta self-awareness thing, delivered mere moments before he travels through time in a way that the Terminator movies have expressly stated to be impossible.  I dunno.
Fun fact: I read the novelisations of the movies - I was a very lonely child - and they had the T1000 traveling through time by first covering itself in cloned flesh.
So, so lonely.

Fellow Norn Arishman PJ Holden does get to render Robo sticking the nut on Arnie, surely a defining moment in our culture, but his Robo - like all other Robocops in comic form - is emotional and expressive rather than deadpan and mechanical, and I totally understand why artists do this - especially with scripts that explicitly call for Robocop to shout and scream and look anxious and angry, etc as this one does - but I can't help but feel that it misses the appeal of Robocop as an unflappable straight man in a ludicrous world, though obviously going down this avenue of criticism involves me, an amateur comics artist with (counts fingers) 7 professional credits to his name, criticising someone who has drawn Judge Dredd for over a decade, so uhhhhh probably this is the wrong hill to die upon.
I don't like my Robo to be too emotional or ahead of the game is what I am saying, as he's at his best when he's doing that deadpan reactive thing, or - at a push - when he is driving a burning pimpmobile.  Which he does not do in this, I notice.

The art is actually pretty good once you look past the whole emotional Robocop thing, with a particularly great money shot of a character from the franchise getting their head lopped off that I would have greatly appreciated seeing when I was 12, but there's only so much heavy lifting it can do for the script, which after the first issue covers some very Genesys-like ground in the final three chapters before just sort of stopping without answering any questions, the most obvious of which center around Robo suddenly turning into a time-hopping Machiavelli.  I guess they expected to do a follow-up series or something.
