Me Geek, You Geek: Finally...another kick ass Atomic Robo comic book! Woot!

I know I am way late to the game since Free Comic Book Day was in May, but hey. I actually forgot about FCBD this year (for shame!) so I didn't get my Atomic Robo freebie. And I was too dumb to realize that the great MailOrderComics.com will let you pick a freebie as well. For shame!

So boo hoo for me.

But, while at the Chicago convention I ran in to two mint copies of this JetPackComics.com variant (click on it to see it in it's full glory) of the Atomic Robo freebie. So sure, I had to pay $3 for a free comic, but that's not important. So Bart and I both snagged a copy.

Now I have to be entirely honest with you. I wasn't that excited to get home and read this issue. The last three issues of AR (I can call him that...we're tight) were disappointing. Good...but disappointing after I was blown away by the first three issues. By the way, as you can read in any of our past Atomic Robo posts, we have been 100% pleased with the art at all times. It was the story that dangled for me.

Ha. I said dangle.

So I walked in to this one a little late and a little disinterested.

Wow I was wrong.

This is a classic Atomic Robo issue. Fighting robots. Mad foreign scientists trying to blow up the world. Funny quips. And of course, our cute, cuddly AR.

And what it didn't have was a TEAM! I hated the teammates....much to the chagrin of Bart who thought the team added something to AR. But as this issue shows...he was wrong again.

A great issue...a great character...I'm hoping this is what the future holds for Atomic Robo Vol. 2. Go Red 5!

For my last bit, check out this splash page of this issue's mad scientist and his rant. Classic (click on image to enlarge.) (Are we still at the point of using the internet that we still have to tell people to click on images to enlarge? I mean, we don't say "www" when telling someone about a site address...why do I feel compelled to tell people to click on images to make them bigger? Mommy issues I bet.)

By the way...I need an Atomic Robo action figure. Get on that for me Red 5!

So let me hear what you think! Did you read this issue? What did you think? Are you an Atomic Robo fan? Are you excited about the next volume? Comment below. Now!

And, if you are one of the few comic book readers who haven't picked up Atomic Robo, here are some issues to get (good luck getting #1...Bart has been trying for months!)
