Atomic Robo
I've been reading Atomic Robo on and off for several years, but today I actually caught up for the first time. It's about a sentient humanoid robot created in the 1920s by a fictionalized version of Nikola Tesla. Is anyone else here reading this?

Re: Atomic Robo
Yes, Atomic Robo is one of my favorites.
I love the little magazine arc with Alan hanging with the other kids!
...I just realized I called them kids even though they're all probably in their 20s.Last edited by Squire Doodad; 2020-08-02 at 04:19 PM.
An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

They think Ghostbusters is super old, they are kids.

Re: Atomic Robo
Something I noticed: almost all of Robo's foes are still alive. Dr. Dinosaur is alive, Helsingrad is effectively immortal, the Biomega are probably still alive, Edison is out there somewhere...basically the only people who are gone for good are the Chokaiten people and the H.P. Lovecraft eldritch horror.

Re: Atomic Robo
Also, unless I'm mistaken the original evil Alan is completely destroyed. Originally Posted by Squire Doodad
