Comics: Atomic Robo Vol. 3

Atomic Robo, volume 3: Atomic Robo and the Shadow From Beyond Time

Written by Brian Clevinger, art by Scott Wegener, published by Red 5 Comics

Overview

Volume 3 of Atomic Robo is a non-linear story that jumps through eras from when Robo is a young… robot to near present-day. It tells the tale of Robo fighting a Lovecraftian monster (literally – the monster emerges from H.P. Lovecraft, who shows up looking for Nikola Tesla) across time, and needing his own assistance from other time periods to defeat it.

Unlike several of the other books, this is one continuous story rather than a bunch of smaller ones. Probably the weakest of the Atomic Robo books, in my estimation, but that still makes it better than a lot of other stuff that’s being published.
