Dr. Ashar Ahmad a brilliant but heartless scientist was intent on proving the physical existence of the soul, going as far as to create an impenetrable cybernetic skin that would trap the human soul after the body within has died - a walking coffin. As you might expect, a dying Ahmad ends up encased in one of his prototypes and then realizes how he'd wasted his life. Things go from bad to worse as The Coffin begins a desperate race to reclaim his technology from an evil corporate overlord and and the same time save the life of his estranged daughter.
I enjoyed the book and loved the design of The Coffin (who I guess you could argue isn't really a robot).
I was lucky enough to get out to the San Diego Comic Convention back in 2001 and got this convention commission sketch from Mike himself.
