Atomic Robo Volume 7: The Flying She-Devils of the Pacific (2013)
Though I could easily see actual shark jumping occurring in an Atomic Robo story, I think there may have been a proverbial one with the time-traveling dinosaur a few volumes back. I thought they’d reversed the trend, but all the stories set in Robo’s past lack the wonder the earlier volumes had. ...
Atomic Robo Volume 6: The Ghost of Station X (2012)
I think I know why I like Atomic Robo so much: It's everything that I was promised by the Iron Man movies.Iron Man is boring. I'm sorry, but Iron Man is a dud. TONY STARK is sort of interesting, as much as a story about a handsome super-genius billionaire with all the confidence in the world c...
Atomic Robo and Other Strangeness (2010)
This volume of Atomic Robo is pretty good, on par with previous volumes with writing and pacing and plot, but I didn't find it as compelling as the third volume. There's not much I can say what I liked in general without reiterating my previous reviews, but, specifically to this volume, I loved t...
ATOMIC ROBO 4. ATOMIC ROBO Y OTRAS RAREZAS (2000)
I thought Volume 3 was great, but this one blows it out of the water. All of the single-issue stories here are good, but Atomic Robo vs Doctor Dinosaur has me laughing out loud, multiple times. The sheer absurdity of the situation, coupled with the great dialogue, makes this an issue that every...
Atomic Robo y la Sombra de Mas Allá del Tiempo (2009)
This may be the best Atomic Robo collection yet. These five issues look at Robo in four time periods (the 1920s, the 1950s, the 1970s, and the present), and the unifying element is a Lovecraftian monster that, appropriately enough, comes from the body of H.P. Lovecraft himself. The story structur...
Atomic Robo and the Dogs of War (2009)
A friend lent me every volume of Atomic Robo the other day, and I've already devoured them all. This is what Comics are supposed to be -- witty, pulpy, perilous without being dour, and thoroughly suffused with adventure and fun. Who knew the schmuck behind 8-Bit Theater (which I loved, admittedly...
ATOMIC ROBO 2. ATOMIC ROBO Y LOS PERROS DE LA GUERRA (2011)
Atomic Robo is back, and this time he's out to punch Hitler's clock.Picture Hellboy as an atomic powered robot built by Tesla. In this collection, he's fighting in World War 2 against Nazi mecha, bio-engineered brutes, and weather machines. It's two-fisted action, lovingly illustrated, full of f...
Atomic Robo and the Fightin' Scientists of Tesladyne (2009)
Action! Science! Adventure! Action Scientists! What more could anyone (and I mean anyone from child to adult) ask for in a colourful, well drawn, and well written comic? Not much, actually. Its complete with your snarky, loveable, action hero atomic robot: Robo. Not to mention Jenkins, Nicola Tes...
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 de...
