Atomic Robo Vol 6 #4 (Red 5 – Clevinger / Wegener / Pattison / Powell)
Robo tried to save some astronauts in space. And then it went HORRIBLY WRONG. So, then Robo tried to get to the bottom of it only to find a big damn conspiracy with tanks and guns and stuff. This issue? He’s on the run and the fate of everyone in the world lay in the hands of a trucker and some HAM radio hobbyists. Seriously. Not buying ATOMIC ROBO comics is the biggest mistake of your life. Do something right for a change and pick up an issue. Start with this one if you have to. Your only regret will be lamenting what took you so long.
It would seem Robo has finally met his match – an enemy who can out think and out play Robo and his team at every turn. Well, Robo still has some low-tech tricks up his sleeve like HAM radios, robot-enthusiasts convoy truckers and a simple wooden crate. This penultimate issue is a full blown, high speed bullet train preparing the fans for the final issue of Volume 6.
As always – the writing and art are great – Atomic Robo fans will not be disappointed!
Series Grade: A+
