This review is from: Atomic Robo Volume 1: Atomic Robo & the Fightin Scientists of Tesladyne TP (v. 1) (Paperback)
What a concept, Atomic Robo, built by Tesla in the 1920s, battles Nazis, mummies, giant insects and the ghost of Rasputin.
The humor and action never lets up in this book. Clevinger manages to use the last 100 years of science fiction but without it ever feeling forced or like a parody. Wegener manages to make Atomic Robo a very sympathetic and empathic character, despite his lack of a face. Lots of fun, highly recommended.

Great Pulp action,
This review is from: Atomic Robo Volume 1: Atomic Robo & the Fightin Scientists of Tesladyne TP (v. 1) (Paperback)
Atomic Robo is a great pulp story. It's strongly reminiscent of Hellboy in a good way, if you replaced a chunk of the mysticism with mad science and the gruff and likable Hellboy with the more snarky and equally likable Atomic Robo.
There will be rockets, there will be a giant ant beaten with a street sign, there will be Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawkings making an appearance (the latter in a brief but awesome antagonistic role). The art and writing are solid start to finish. I highly recommend this product.

Remember when it was okay for comics to be funny?,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Atomic Robo Volume 1: Atomic Robo & the Fightin Scientists of Tesladyne TP (v. 1) (Paperback)
Wisecracking robot fights everything from an evil Nazi brain-in-a-jar to giant ants. Cameos by Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. Snappy dialogue, fun bite-sized stories, clean visual storytelling. You can show it to kids without giving them nightmares about women getting chopped up and stuffed into refrigerators. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended. Buy it, enjoy it.
