colindalaska's review against another edition
3.0
I love Atomic Robo - but there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done before in an early volume (except Lang and Abasi arguing with Richard Branson to get a toilet plumbed in)

This is the kind of story I come to Atomic Robo for. A fun, action A-plot and a silly but menacing B-plot.

I'll admit it.
When this story first came out, I had trouble getting into it. The real world was rough and distracting. I could not remember vast swaths to Robo lore. And the art was different than what I was used to.
But I've been working my way through Robo from the beginning lately, so my grasp on his past is as firm as never before.
The real world is still difficult, but things have been improving.
And I got used to the art.
Robo is back. Tesladyne is back. And a surprise villain is back...?! Oooh!
It fascinated me that the majority of our action science crew are stuck fighting a mundane problem like a HOA while Robo is clandestinely combating an unexpected evil. And while it was not intended as such (since our current pandemic was not even on the radar of most people back then) the parallels of the outbreak with our current situation has surprising relevance.
