Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures #2

/ / Comics

atomic-robo-presents-real-science-adventures-2-coverThe latest Atomic Robo series gives us four more short stories. Two are continuations from the opening chapters from issue #1 as Atomic Robo trains with Bruce Lee and The Sparrow and Scarecrow fight off Nazis during WWII.

We’re also given a pair of separate stories. The first involves an Atomic Robo impostor who gets a team killed while trying to capture the apparently invulnerable Yonkers Devil. The final, and best story of this issue, finds Robo attacked by Thomas Edision and the ghost of Rasputin while trying to study for finals.

Although all four stories are fun The Sparrow is still missing a certain robotic hero to liven things up, and it certainly feels like it would have been better served told in more than a few pages at a time (honestly, I’d completely forgotten what happened in this story in issue #1). Sadly, the killer robotic dogs on the cover don’t make an appearance in this issue. Only the Rasputin tale stands out and I would have gladly traded the pages of one of the other stories to have this one fleshed-out a little more. Worth a look.

Daredevil #13

/ / Comics

daredevil-13-coverAfter being interupted by the Black Spectre on his date with Kristin McDuffie in the last issue, Daredevil dons his red long johns, grabs the Omega Drive and heads for Times Square where he draws out not only Black Spectre, but A.I.M., HYDRA, Agence Byzantine, and The Secret Empire.

Although he holds his own, eventually the numbers are simply too much and one of the groups makes off with the Omega Drive, but, then again, that was all part of Daredevil’s plan. The twist works well-enough, but given that Daredevil knows what’s happening his internal monologue during the fight doesn’t quite work once the reveal has been made.

The issue seems to wrap-up the Omega Drive storyline, at least until the epilogue where Daredevil finds himself transported to Latveria against his will. Next month should see a pretty good matchup of Daredevil vs. Doctor Doom as well as let us in on what Foggy was shocked to find in Matt’s desk. Worth a look.
