Pick of the Week – Atomic Robo: Flying She-Devils of the South Pacific #1

Posted on by

I love Atomic Robo, that’s why my pick for the week is Atomic Robo: Flying She-Devils of the South Pacific #1.  The Atomic Robo comic book’s that I’ve read have been pure fun that’s appropriate for kids and adults alike.  Its that great humor that appeals to kids and also some jokes that are there for their parents too.

The art is great and writing top notch.  It’s rare that I can say parents and kids will enjoy a comic, and that comic is written in such a way to not insult either’s intelligence.  If you’ve never read an Atomic Robo comic, do yourself a favor and pick up the first issue of the seventh volume of the series that hits shelves this week.  And, while you’re there get more to satiate your Atomic Robo fix with Atomic Robo: Real Science Adventures #3.

  • Atomic Robo: Flying She-Devils of the South Pacific #1 – see above
  • Transformers: More Than Meets the Eyes #6 – I’ve been loving IDW’s two Transformers series that bring fun I haven’t experienced since the original cartoon.
  • New Deadwardians #4 – I have no idea how to describe this series that mixes a murder mystery with PBS Masterpiece Theater.
  • Idolized #0 – Aspen has been hyping this series and it’s enough to get me intrigued. Super heroes meet American Idol.  Sounds interesting enough for me.
  • Ultimate Comics Ultimates #12 – This series throws it all out there.  I never know what to expect.

Pick of the Week – Atomic Robo: Real Science Adventures #1

Posted on by

I’ve read some Atomic Robo comics in the past, but it was the last mini-series that really sucked me in.  The series is fantastic for people of all ages.  The perfect comic for parents to share with their children and both will enjoy.  It’s nice to be able to highlight a comic like this.  That’s why this week the pick is Atomic Robo: Real Science Adventures #1.  How can you not like this series which mixes all those great things we like about adventure comics with a perfect mix of action and humor.

  • Atomic Robo: Real Science Adventures #1 – see above.
  • New Deadwardians #1 – A new Vertigo series?  Yes please!
  • The Walking Dead #95 – Kirkman is shaking things up again.  No time like the present to check it out.
  • Avengers vs. X-Men #0 – The event of year starts here… unless that event winds up like the other recent Marvel let downs.
  • Transformers: Robots in Disguise #3 – I’ve read it.  It’s fantastic.
