Just finished the TPB..Was one of the most enjoyable reads I've had in a long while..totally delightful.

The writting was fresh and spot on for the character. A wise cracking Robot in pants, with guns! Whats not to like..His support team is a bunch of smart mouthed "Action scientists" also with guns...toss em together with mobile laser blasting pyrimids, giant ants, and megomaniacal cyborgs, and you got one hell of a read..the art is fresh, its clean..its just a good time..

Pick it up..if you haven't already..

I tried to pimp this one back when it first came out, but there didn't seem to be much interest.Maybe a second thumbs up well help though.

dude, my LCS guy turned me on to this..I read it at work, in one sitting..it was a blast..I passed it on to a co-worker..he'd been looking for it, but couldn't find it..I just thought it was in need of some write up..

truely some lol stuff in this book..and I liked the art..clean lines, nothing was botched or blocky..

I tried recommending it to Hellboy fans. Similar art, similar sense of humor, similar method of jumping around time to tell different stories. Of course, the stories told are pretty different, but I think the comparison is fair.

True..The writer list Mignola as one of his mentors..

and you'd think HellBoy fans would have dug it..probably cause it didn't deal with the so-called "Supernatural" in the way they think..

Hell, ya got a Nazi killer cyborg..whats not to dig...lol!

I guess the second thumbs up didn't help.

I find it funny how many people ask for recommended reading on here and then never respond when a good book is recommended.

Just finished the 4th issue of "Atomic Robo-Dogs of War" and I was laughing my arse off...The wry humor and quick style of writing is just fantastic..this book is totally awesome...Can see this on the big screen..I loaned the trade to a girl at work, totally not into comics, and she's so digging it...even have her reading "The Watchmen". She can't wait for the movie...

You people don't know what you're missing..Atomic Robo is to funny what Goon is to noir...
