Comics: Atomic Robo Vol. 3

Story

We get four tales of Atomic Robo – in his youth, with Charles Fort and Howard Phillips Lovecraft; later, with both Carl Sagan (in the best of the scientist cameos thus far) and Robo’s own Action Scientists (in the Oregon town of Cloverdale, which is totally not a Cloverfield reference); and finally at Tesladyne.

The Tesladyne science geeks make a giant evil computer.

We also get a bit more of Jenkins, who’s shown up in the background in stories (and backup stories) up ‘til this point. He’s arguably the most recognizable of the Action Scientists, at least until Bernard really shows up in volume 4.

We also get some more backup stories, similar to volumes one and two. These tend to be small pieces that don’t require an entire 22 page story, or provide more background on other stories. (Jenkins’ first appearance is in one of the backups, for instance)
