I really enjoy the Atomic Robo world even when Robo himself istn't in it. I wasn't crazy about each issue being drawn by a different artist but I enjoyed the story.

Yes! More She-Devils!
Even better, the early days of the She-Devils! We see them developing their jetpacks and becoming a force to be reckoned with in the South Pacific.
The action was tense. The script was tight. The art... was a bit rougher than I am used to, but not bad. By the end of the series, I was on board.
The second part was a story of The Sparrow. Ah, British Intelligence in WWII. So much fun! Great seeing her when she's not being saddled with our wisecracking protagonist.
Completely different art in this one. Easier to get into. So much fun!
And finally, some secret files from Majestic 12. Hmm, they knew a lot more than I would have given them credit for. Interesting!
All in all, some great stories, especially if you like pulp adventures from the 40s & 50s and strong, intelligent female characters with understandable motivations and who can kick butt.

This was a fascinating heist comic that has me asking so many questions! Why is Ultra interested in this? How will this eventually tie into Robo? What will our plucky band of ne'er-do-wells do next?
The answers, of course, are not in this book.
This book is the 11th C caper flick that I never knew that I wanted! Also, up until now I had no idea that I wanted to be a scribe in Constantinople from a thousand years ago. See how educational this book is?
