Atomic Robo: The Best Comic of All Time?

My intended projects are not done in time for an evening post, so here's another subject I have been meaning to cover for a while. Atomic Robo is probably my favorite comic of all time. I ordered several trade paperback collections via Purse.io, since that's a handy site allowing people to shop on Amazon.com with Bitcoin. It's published as a webcomic too, so you can read it free!

It's filled with over-the-top silliness without the self-important drama that is so common in the big-namecomics. It's pure escapism in the best sense. The writers and artists have also listed some principles on their "about" page that should explain better how they stand out from the usual fare.

Backstory: Nikola Tesla built an atomic-powered robot with human-level intelligence. Over time, this robot begins working as an adventure scientist for the UN, which usually means pinching, shooting, or otherwise fighting ancient horrors, aliens, and mad scientists.

Have I mentioned that it's freakin' awesome?

It doesn't really matter what order you read the various volumes in the series of you get the books, because they are each standalone stories from throughout Robo's life. They were never written chronologically, so there's no need to read them that way either.

Read it online. Maybe buy the trades online or at your local comic book shop. You won't regret it. Linkara endorses it too, after all!

And if you like the insane sense of humor exhibited by writer Brian Clevinger, check out 8-Bit Theater! It's a sprite comic loosely based on the storyline from the original Final Fantasy game on NES. Emphasis on loosely. It is also awesome.
