Megaman ZX is a futuristic graphic novel that takes an approach of making robots and humans live together in harmony. The book has many visuals that capture the essence of how the cities and robots look and gives a decent back story on how the world is what it is and what situations have risen making it a dystopia.
The technology in the book is very futuristic and they even explain how these machines help society. Man has developed a new type of Bio-metal made from a crystal with mysterious power. once a person has unlocked this power they can us it to transform into what is known as a "Megaman". With this strange power man has created machines that do whatever a person tells them, like any other futuristic movie they do whatever their master wished. Mavericks are robots that have gone rouge and threaten to destroy humans, to free themselves or have been hacked by another person. Vent is a young boy that finds a Bio-metal and merges with it to become a Megaman. Vent and his friends stop all mavericks from causing any people harm.
The story is very heavy on Vent trying to unlock the power of the Bio-metal and stopping the mavericks. Bio-metals are not like regular machines where you control it with a device of some sort. These metals merge with the human host of its choosing and give the wielder the abilities of Megaman, but a person can have more than one Bio-metal. If a person that possesses a Bio-metal gives its power to another person with one, the person being given the Bio-metal can fuse the two together to cause a Mega-merge. In a Mega-merge the person can use the combined power of the Bio-metals and unlock more powerful weapons and powers. The catch is that the human host will slowly gain fatigue and if use this power to much, will die.
Because Bio-metals are so powerful people attempt to steal them and hack robots designed to help society, and turn them into out of control machines. The government want to use the Bio-metals to help society and protect people, but scientist wish to use them for there own selfish reasons. Society is very oblivious to these events and the government covers these incidents with excuses, ex. "the machine had overloaded and became reckless". People are so unaware of the larger threat that they believe mistakes happen and move on with there lives.
Today people are slowly starting to make machine that will do our bidding but what if something similar to mavericks happen. Can the government hide this from society forever? People are only human and the fact that we can use machines to replace a body part can make us seem less human. If advancing our technology can help create a better society, it can also create a darker future used in the wrong hands.
But it would not be a bad idea to become a "Megaman"
