Continúan las aventuras de Atomic Robo, esta vez durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y su enfrentamiento con, como no, malvados científicos nazis y sus terribles creaciones.
Volvemos a encontrarnos con un cómic muy disfrutable, que no se toma en serio a sí mismo. Pero claro, si de lo que hablamos es de un robot inteligente alimentado por energía atómica construido en los años 30 por Nikola Tesla, ¿qué otra cosa podríamos esperar?
Me lo he pasado bien leyéndolo pero lo he disfrutado menos que el volumen anterior. No sé decir muy bien la causa, quizás sea porque el tema científico nazi está ya muy trillado, quizás porque en este volumen haya menos respuestas ingeniosas de Robo, o tal vez la culpa la tenga que ya se haya perdido la sorpresa del descubrimiento.
En resumen, un cómic para desconectar y echar un rato entretenido sin más pretensiones.

Sigue en la misma línea del anterior pero situando más historias alrededor del mundo y con la amenaza de los nazis como telón de fondo. Y sigue siendo imprescindible para pasarlo bien.

Its difficult to feel this way, since it is a tale about war and the horridness such things bring, but this was a fun read.
The humor was light and spare, the attention focused on the characters fighting a horrible war, and the absurdness is what would be expected for such a tale.
I am a fan of Atomic Robo and want to see more tales of him (yes, I referred to the humanoid automaton as a him, since the outward expression is male), despite knowing there is no gender. Or is there?
Atomic Robo is very human: fears, concerns, joys, desires, etc. And war is always a good catalyst to bring that nature outward.

It's been a while since I read the first collection (which I really enjoyed) but Atomic Robo really doesn't require any prior knowledge. This time we get a series of stories from WWII which sort of flow though seem a little disjointed (saying something for AR). The art is brilliant throughout and again, fantastically coloured. I thought that though fun, it was less funny this time round (probably reflected the era and events in which it's set), with glimpses of the previous humour only really cropping up in the "B" stories and the fantastic free comic book day edition collected at the end. Still, average Atomic Robo is better than pretty much everything else out there currently. Written purely for the fun of it. Plus some touching words from the creators regarding their grandfathers.

This series is such great fun. I can rarely get through an issues without laughing out loud.

Pulp adventure with a pro-science bias. Atomic Robo in WWII, including German mecha! We need more stories like this.
Edit: Still holds up. Inserting historical characters into fiction is something I have a generally lower tolerance for than I used to, but it works in Atomic Robo.
