About book Atomic Robo 1: Atomic Robo Y Los Cientificos De Accion De Tesladyne (2010)

This is a silly fun action adventure starring a robot apparently created by Tesla. It's very light; no real overarching plot, just a repeating villain Helsingard, and even he doesn't show up in half the stories. It's a science adventure (and the issue that chronicles Robo's trip to Mars is a definite highlight with some classic extraplanetary graffiti), not a super hero book, although it has trappings of that as well. It's snarky and fun, with simple but effective art. I'm curious if it gets deeper in the later books. It probably wouldn't hurt, but sometimes pure fun is a good read too. And this definitely is. Atomic Robo how I love you so, seriously, this is one of those diamonds in the rough. When I first picked up the comic I thought it was a slightly ripped off Hellboy, but boy was I wrong. It is probably one of the most original comics out there with dialogue that is very well crafted and timed. The artwork keeps getting better and better with each volume, as well as the story telling.I cannot recommend this book or the entire series enough to those who are looking for adventure, hi jinks, and science!
