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. ...

review 1: I'm going to have to read this entire series now! I started with this volume because I heard that it involved H.P. Lovecraft, and I must say the trade delivered a fantastic experience. Robo, athough an "automatic intelligence" of Tesla's devising, is a genuine gentleman and a pas...

review 1: I love the quirky humor of Atomic Robo, and that has never been better displayed than in the story about why Robo and Dr. Dinosaur hate each other. The story is beautiful, with an indestructible robot and a crafty dinosaur shooting guns and lobbing grenades at each other while Ro...

review 1: This is the second trade paperback for Atomic Robo, a wonderful comic about a robot designed and built by Nikola Tesla. I'm not much of a comics reader and even less of a comics buyer, but this series won me over with one of its Free Comic Book Day releases and I'm slowly working...

review 1: Something transcendent happens in the middle of this book.Atomic Robo is always a wise-cracking robot in the middle of world-shaking, but light-hearted calamities.He goes in for a 1-on-1 tussle with a speaking dinosaur, and their quips come off like Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman,...

review 1: A bit different from past Robo episodes, Volume 6 is a conspiracy and mystery thriller that brings two seemingly disparate problems to a single resolution. Robo is trying to hunt down whomever it is wants him killed, while a couple of his employees are helping modern-day Sparrow ...
