Atomic Robo Volume 1

If you were to enter a comic book store at this very moment, you'd be pretty hard pressed to actually find the first few issues of Atomic Robo. They're sold out.

But never fear! The Atomic Robo Trade Paper Back (Volume 1) is hear! Compiled together and coming out in June this year are the first 6 issues of Red 5's incredibly successful series. But what is Atomic Robo you ask (for those who do not know...)?

Well in these issues you will see Atomic Robo (a robot), do battle with Nazis, giant ants, clockwork mummies, walking pyramids, Mars, cyborgs and his nemesis, Baron von Helsingard. Yes you heard me right... Nazis. This guy is like a robot version of Indiana Jones.

Red 5 Comics is fast becoming one of my favorite producers of comics, with Atomic Robo being a favorite on that list if only for the artwork - which is fantastic. Look for the first volume of the TPB to come out in June, complete with new stories, concept art, pin-ups and more. If you're looking for me, I'll be at the local comic store picking myself up a copy!
