Guardians of the Galaxy's Fon Davis Appears on Buzz on BOOM! To Talk RoboCop

Fon Davis, a visual effects artist who has worked on the Star Wars and The Matrix franchises as well as Galaxy Quest and Guardians of the Galaxy, appears on today's episode of the Buzz on BOOM! (nee BOOM! Tube) YouTube series to discuss the upcoming RoboCop ongoing series from BOOM! Studios.

The series, set in the world of the original RoboCop films, is apparently set immediately following the events of the first film, and either takes place before, or totally ignores, the sequels that came prior to this year's reboot.
