Atomic Robo

review 1: After the antics of the first few volumes you can be forgiven for thinking that that is Atomic Robo's only trick. "The Deadly Art of Science" proves however that this story is capable of being more serious, albeit with a helping of humor. In contrast to the jumping around in time of previous issues, this new story instead goes all the way back to what can most readily be called Robo's adolescence and gives us the first time he dabbled in adventuring. It is also helped by featuring the first actual appearance of Nikola Tesla and sheds some light on theirs and Robo's relationship past their initial creator/creation dynamic with Tesla.
review 2: With Atomic Robo's long history (he was built by Nikola Tesla) creators Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener have more than... more a 100 years to play around with telling stories. This tale is set during the U.S. Depression of the 1930s and draws some of its inspiration from a "young" Robo and classic pulp characters (see the introduction of Jack Tarot). This volume is not as good as previous stories. I think some of the miss was the Jack Tarot character, and the bigger problem was introducing and playing up the Edison/Tesla rivalry (and for it is the issue that neither man is as good or as bad as portrayed here in rl). less
