Atomic Robo
Atomic Robo is an American comic book series created by 8-Bit Theater writer Brian Clevinger and artist Scott Wegener, depicting the adventures of the eponymous character, a self-aware robot built by Nikola Tesla. The series is split into several mini-series, each depicting a different era and adventure in Atomic Robo's long life.
The series began as a six-issue limited series published by Red 5 Comics starting in October 2007. It was nominated in the "Best Limited Series" category of the 2008 Eisner Awards, won by The Umbrella Academy. Colourist Ronda Pattison was also nominated in the "Best Coloring" category subsequently won by Dave Stewart. In April 2012 Atomic Robo Volume 6: The Ghost of Station X became the second Atomic Robo miniseries to be nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Limited Series. With the release of Volume 10, the collected volumes were no longer numbered. Given the non-linear nature of the volumes there was no necessary reading order, thus it was no longer necessary to number volumes as each volume is designed to be a jumping on point for new readers.
Starting in March 2012, an additional title was published, Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures, in which all writing was done by Brian Clevinger, but there were five different stories or chapters of stories, continued each issue, each drawn by a different artist. A second volume was published in 2014 with a single story focusing on Tesla and his team trying to stop the "Billion Dollar Scheme". This story predates Robo's creation.[citation needed]
In 2015, after the publishing contract with Red 5 expired in January, all existing and upcoming issues of Atomic Robo were published online as free webcomics. Later in June, IDW Publishing acquired the rights to handle the physical printing of all Atomic Robo comics. The comics are still available free on the website with half a page being uploaded daily before IDW's physical release. IDW also released multi-volume softcover collections, the first of which is called "Everything Explodes Collection". This consists of the first three volumes of the comic. Comixology continued to provide digital copies of the series through their Comixology Submit program.
The companion series Real Science Adventures has published three volumes. They feature stories by Clevinger with rotating artists in place of Wegener, who provides covers for the series.
Atomic Robo and the Fightin' Scientists of Tesladyne shows some of Robo's adventures in the 20th century, featuring giant ants, a trip to Mars, a walking pyramid, and two showdowns with his nemesis, Helsingard. Volume 1 is currently being released on the iTunes Store for the iPhone/iPod Touch, one issue per month.
Free Comic Book Day '08: The Tsar Bomb stars Atomic Robo who must stop a rogue Russian scientist from destroying the atmosphere.
Atomic Robo and the Dogs of War deals with Atomic Robo's missions during World War II, fighting Nazi "weird war" projects. Robo must destroy walking tanks known as the Laufpanzers before they end the Invasion of Sicily. He teams up with British spy, the Sparrow, and works with soldier James Milligan to end the Weird War once and for all.
