Atomic Robo meets Green Hornet (sorta). Lots of daring-do but not a lot happens.

Free Comic Books Day 2012 was a great day because that's when I discovered Atomic Robo.

Very good, like most Atomic Robo stuff. Nice flashback series, more Tesla and even a little Dr. Dinosaur! Action Science!

Just when I think I can't love the character more, it turns out I do. I have a huge crush on the author.

This is actually my favorite volume of the series. Young Atomic Robo is a lot more spunky, fun, and headstrong. The Hellboy influence does shine through a little more when dealing with young Robo, but considering I enjoy that style of writing, I'll roll with it. I also enjoy the Edison/Tesla rivalry that is the foundation of the conflict here. The art, as usual, is simplistic and sparse but gets the job done.

I was a bit worried that they might start lagging with the terrificality, but it's still going full bore. This is a flashback to Robo's early days, and it's fun to see him as the less-than-competent neophyte battling thugs and the evil Edison.
As soon as I finished this I sent an email to Scott Wegener asking if there will be a large-format hardcover of Atomic Robo released any time soon, and he said one will be out in December. I now know the first item on my Christmas list!

I love young Robo's 'cursing'. "Holy socks! Oh, crumbs! Applesauce!" Also, Nikola Tesla gets to be pretty bad-ass. And Robo's pretty obnoxious when he's trying to learn how to be an action hero! Nikola and Robo's interactions are always the best.
Favorite quote from the Free Comic Book Day issue: "THIS IS THE SOUND OF BULLETS KILLING YOU!!!"

How did Robo go from science to Action Science?
What was Edison talking about in the fourth collection, Atomic Robo & Other Strangeness?
Who is Robo's favorite Western hero?
And has Robo ever known love?
These questions and more are answered in Atomic Robo and the Deadly Art of Science!
What I find most fascinating is that some of the smallest things in these early comics are actually seeds for much later stories.
Also, I am really digging the Dr Dinosaur pages at the end of these collections.
