review 1: I know why I enjoy Atomic Robo. It is the other side of the coin from Hellboy (which I also enjoy along with B.R.P.D. a great deal). A fish out of water character who's adventures can easily cover a 100+ years because Nikola Tesla is Robo's creator. Where Hellboy and B.R.P.D. deal with the supernatural, Robo is dealing, usually with crazed scientists. While testing a new Tesladyne plane in 1951 Robo is shot down in the Pacific. There he discovers a culture of smugglers, thieves and adventurers. The She-Devils are women pilots and mechanics who had found freedom during the war and elected not to return to the U.S. and their old lives.To avoid spoilers I will say that Robo and the She-Devils team up to solve a threat to the U.S that brings back memories of the Japanese ... morescience fiction movie Atragon.
review 2: The story arc in this volume was decidedly different from the rest, following Robo post-WWII as he gets picked up by jet-pack wearing ladies when shot down over the Pacific. The entire idea of "the war is still on" in the Pacific between pirates and other ne'er-do-wells was a really fun setting and environment, but this volume was more dramatic in its storytelling than the earlier ones. I didn't laugh as much at this one, for example, but I enjoyed the story. less
