In 1923, Nikola Tesla's career is in its twilight until he unveils a robot with automatic intelligence -- ATOMIC ROBO! After decades of dealing with all manner of weirdness, ATOMIC ROBO and the so-called ACTION SCIENTISTS of TESLADYNE became the go-to defense force against the unexplained. See ROBO take on Nazis, giant ants, clockwork mummies, walking pyramids, Mars, cyborgs and his nemesis, Baron von Helsingard, in his first trade paperback graphic novel. This edition collects the hard-to-find, sold-out, debut issues of ATOMIC ROBO #1 through #6, complete with cover gallery, pin-ups, concept sketches and bonus stories. Created by Brian Clevinger of 8-BIT THEATER fame.

Summary: Amazing comic!
Comment: This comic has everything I was looking for. Science, humor, action and more. I wouldn't be surprised if this makes it to the big screen. If you like comics, pick this one up.

Summary: 180 pages of pure geeky joy
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Pulp action
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Quality work.
Comment: Something new on the superhero scene, Atomic Robo definitely delivers. Great art, great story, and full of action and humor. I'm glad that this finally came out in a trade, as the individual comics were tough to find.
