Some of my favorite webcomic artists in an anthology together? Heck yeah! I enjoyed the diversity of characters and relationships portrayed. Some of the future tech/machines are really cool and I’d love to see more stories in those worlds.

Smut Peddler continues to delight with another quality sexy comic anthology. This time it is the rise of the machines is at hands, though many here aren't quivering with the fear of annihilation.
The anthology brings together the expected broad spectrum of characters, organic and otherwise, with diversity covering more than sexual and gender identities. There is a little bit of something for everyone and it is an enjoy collection to explore even if you're confident in your preferences.
The stories themselves offer a wonderful range of sex, emotion and romance. So again whether you want the physical or the feelings or a mix of the two you are likely to find your flavour among the collection.
Polished an vibrant, if you're a smut peddler fan you'll be more than satisfied by this offering.

16 tales of sci-fi sex, mostly involving androids and robots, maybe half in space. Fiona Staple's Vanilla Game was probably my favourite, with a number of laugh out loud moments involving a woman VR questing. Myisha Hayne's Employee of the Month was another amusing one involving a competitive guy called Jesse and his robot nemesis CHR-L3. On the adorable side is Tits McGee's Remote Connection, where Ms Garcia is out doing tech repair at a broadcasting station in the wild with a lone maintenance android. On the more philosophical side, Anderjak's 5 yrs / 1 sec looks at a couple where one is switched off for five years, then switched back on as they reunite, bridging that divide. Upping the ante on the philosophy (and going for a very distinct art style reminiscent of The Fountain?) is Little Universe Machine, by Aud Koch, where one partner is off in space and the one left on earth seeks comfort in the arms of a robot whilst waxing poetic.

The latest in the _Smut Peddler_ series of erotic comic anthologies, which are always entertaining. If you’re into stories about getting it on with artificial beings, this is for you!
As with any anthology, some stories are better than others, but on the whole, they’re all fun, and with some really excellent artwork to boot. Plus, y’know...smut. :)

As with most anthologies, I liked some stories in this collection more than others. A few of the real stand outs included "Little Universe Machine" by Aud Koch, fully painted in exquisite watercolors; "Rendezvous with Ain" by Savanna Ganucheau which played with the concept of virtual presentations of an AI; "Love Triangulation" written by Blue Delliquanti and drawn by Jon Cairns which includes a really unique and intriguing human pilot/robotic transport relationship made possible through extensive cybernetic modifications; and "Starship", Faith Erin Hick's well executed Star Trek AU. I appreciated the authors who chose to tell stories of non-humanoid robot characters as well!
