I forgot how great this series is, haven't read it since it originally came out 5 years ago. Need to go back and re-read all the old Robos.

Helsingard as an archnemesis kinda got dropped since this book though huh? Probably for the best, Dr. Dinosaur and Majestic-12 make for much funnier and/or interesting villains anyway.

Deserves at least 3½ stars, but couldn't agree with 4. While I like the art a lot, I end up just enjoying it for the fun of the read, and not as much the depth of the story, or general creativity. I dunno. I like Atomic Robo enough to have bought three trade paperbacks, so I'm basically into it.

Great book to read while eating potato chips and drinking Mountain Dew

Not my thing, I don't think. War stories are pretty m'eh for me to begin with, and this didn't seem to go anywhere. The Sparrow was the best part and I suspect we're not going to see her for a while.

The awesomeness continues. Wry yet action-packed, this is the best comic going today, bar none.

Incredible mash-up of history and science fiction as Robo works with the US military to fight Nazi mechs and other weird science. I enjoy how Robo is a smart-aleck, and how he wears clothes--even though he will inevitably lose them via guns, hands, evil experiments, other robots, and other violence by the end of the mission. I find it kind of endearing. This series just just plain fun.

What if the Nazi army had Imperial walkers? Or creepy frankendroids with massive upper bodies teetering on impossibly tiny legs? Oh Atomic Robo. A silly book, but I gave it an extra star for the utterly delightful Scottish commando James "Scottie" Milligan.

No idea if there are more but i think I'm done. Is OK but I have difficulty following it sometimes (for a couple reasons).
