Title: Atomic Robo Publisher: Red 5 Comics Brief description: A robot designed by Nikola Tesla with automatic intelligence heads an elite team of action scientists in world-spanning investigations into the weird and unknown. Why I like it: Snappy writing from Brian Clevinger (yeah, the 8-bit Theater guy), Scott Wegener's clean, fresh art that all but jumps off the page, a delightfully pulpy take on action and super-science, decent characterization, and legitimate laughs. If you were put equal parts Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and Rocketeer into a machine driven by Tesla coils and possibly a forsaken child, you'd get Atomic Robo. Stuff like this happens all the time...  ...and it's as awesome as it looks. Issue that is a good jumping on point: Volume 1: Atomic Robo and the Fightin' Scientists of Tesladyne is a very well put together trade paperback that tells you all you need to know about Robo and his world. A few key stories, some fun shorts, and great bonus material will likely leave you hungry for more. As an aside, I also picked up Blacksad and Nonplayer recently, and they're both as good as everybody is saying.
