Cobalt Laser

Cobalt Laser, teenage robot superhero has accomplished the impossible... defeating his nemesis, once and for all! But after the whole world fades to black, Cobalt, Silver, and Crimson Laser awaken in a laboratory where a mysterious scientist welcomes them to the "real world."

Real? What was he before?

With no more cartoon powers or space adventures, Cobalt has a lot of adjusting to do. Maybe that would be easier if his brother and sister would get along!

But it could be worse. At least the villainous Hex Ten is sealed safely away in the cartoon world...

...Oh, no.

Cobalt Laser is a story about siblings, parents, and what it means to be truly “real”. It’s about how far we’ll go to be important, and the effects of our choices on those closest to us.
