The Warm Machine by Aimee Cozza

When a robot built for construction work first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto the base he's working outside of, he immediately falls in love. The problem is, only anomalous bots understand the concept of love, and the lowly laborbot has not deviated from his default programming once. So he thinks, anyway. When the laborbot is scheduled for decommission, the military bot cannot possibly live without him, and the two bots set out on a path to find the fabled anomalous robot utopia Root. COVER ARTIST: Aimee Cozza PUBLISHER: 9mm Press YEAR: 2024 LENGTH: 196 pages  AGE: Adult GENRE: Science Fiction RECOMMENDED: Highly Queer Rep Summary: The main characters are robots, likely closest to aro/ace but those terms aren't quite applicable. Gender is also not an important factor. THE WARM MACHINE plays with ideas of friendship, connection, and searching for utopia, all through the lens of a construction robot who falls in love at first sight with a military bot....

‪Rat Queens: Volumes 1-5

‪Rat Queens: Volumes 1-5 is amazing in all the best ways. It’s a sword and sorcery comic with badass women, lots of fighting, vulnerability, barfights, and really gorgeous art. The Queens are excellent, the world is well-developed... seriously, go read these.

It’s casually queer with complex relationships (romantic, platonic, and everything in between). Volume five does some really cool things, twisting the established format (not that it was formal to start) both narratively and stylistically. I could list tiny things for a while, but I don’t want to spoil even tiny things. If you like comics/graphic novels, definitely check these out. If you haven’t tried any before, as long is you’re fine with blood and gore these would be a good place to start.
