A review by librariabillie
Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures, Vol. 1: The Billion Dollar Plot by Erica Henderson, Brian Clevinger

4.0

A fun story. The art changes every "chapter" which is distracting but also annoying. Since Tesla, Houdini, and Lovecraft look similar, the changing artwork makes it difficult to identify the characters and to distinguish between the three. The story also suffers from what I call "Smurfette Syndrome" (I can't remember if it has an official name now or not). Other than a female assassin who is in a few frames at the beginning, there is only one female character, Annie Oakley (a shooter). 80's cartoons had this problem, too. They needed a female character so that girls would watch, but they didn't want to take the time to create more than one female character in a group of males. Female scientists or millionaires would have been nice. Still, I enjoyed Oakley's character.
