Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Kill Lock is a six-issue comic book miniseries by Livio Ramondelli, published by IDW Publishing. The first issue was released in December 2019, and all six issues were collected in a trade paperback that was released in November 2020.Set in a futuristic galaxy inhabited entirely by sentient robots, the series follows four android criminals who are exiled from their homeworld and sentenced to the "Kill Lock" - a programming protocol that links them together, so that if one of the four dies, the other three do as well. Forced to work together to survive, the four - an alcoholic Laborer droid, a psychopathic Artisan droid, a powerful Wraith soldier unit, and an Unfinished child droid nicknamed "the Kid", sentenced simply for being created imperfect - scour the galaxy in the hopes of finding a cure that can undo the Kill Lock, encountering many other vicious and unscrupulous robots on their quest. Along the way, they'll discover that relying on each other may just get them all killed anyway...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A sequel series, entitled The Kill Lock: The Artisan Wraith, was released in 2022.

Absent Aliens: It's never explored where the all-powerful Forgers came from, or, indeed, who created the android society, and yet, there seems to be no hint of any other forms of life on the planets we see.

Anti-Hero Team: The protagonists can all count as this (with the exception of the Artisan, who's pretty much a Villain Protagonist). They're simply trying to find a way to survive, but aren't above killing or destroying anyone who gets in their way.

A.I. Getting High: The robots in this universe can get drunk, best exemplified by the alcoholic Laborer. The black Artisan that the Artisan meets also smokes some form of cigarette.
