“Apparently there was a huge war against robots sometime before this book. Which I HOPE was never actually in the comics. I kinda think it was, but I like the idea of having this gigantic robotic cataclysm, and the whole thing happens between books. So everyone’s just like, “That was pretty fucked up with those robots, eh?” But we never see that battle at all. Half the people are dead, apparently, parts of town are all screwed up, but we mostly just hear people being all, “Goddamn robots…” There’s something hilarious to me about that, this thing that’s referenced all the time, and because it’s a robot uprising we pretty much get it automatically, and nobody ever really goes into detail. Because why would you!? That’d be like me referencing the Holocaust and then turning to my left and saying, “The Holocaust was a WWII-era German…” Nobody would do that. Or, like, “Geez, it was like 9/11 down there.” [turns to left] “9/11 is the common term to describe the attacks on…” “
