Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures #4

atomic-robo-real-science-adv-4-coverThe latest issue of Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures continues the ongoing stories of The Sparrow (who finds herself captured while breaking into the Nazi camp) and Atomic Robo‘s attempt to train with Bruce Lee (which begins in earnest), as well as giving us two new adventures and a reprint of an early Atomic Robo story originally published in the character’s first series which gives us the first meeting between Robo and Jenkins.

The short adventure entitled “Most Perfect Science Division” is full of action but I felt more than a little lost and could have used some context to the events (which don’t involve Robo, Tesladyne or anything more familiar than giant robots).

The most interesting story is the very personal take on today’s comic industry as Atomic Robo steps into a comic book shop for the first time in 40 years only to discover the bizarre nature of reboots, retcons, variant covers, and grim and gritty comics – none of which appeal to the comics he once knew and loved. Worth a look.

doctor-who-series-4-6-coverThe latest Doctor Who Classic Series featuring the Sixth Doctor, Peri, and his penguin private eye companion Frobisher comes to an end as the threesome head to the planet of Zazz for the Lorduke’s 21st birthday bash. However, on arriving on the planet they run into the Lorduke’s brother, an exiled mad scientist who believes he can escape the planet’s gravity by use of a rocket powered by an erupting volcano and who unintentionally has released a plague of self-replicating robots who could quickly overrun the entire planet.

Taking the TARDIS back in time The Doctor discovers the history of the self-replicating robots who have adapted and evolved into a full civilization over 20 generations from a single repair robot that crash-landed on the planet’s moon thousands of years before.

Using what little he has at his disposal, including the volcano rocket, and taking a page from the Pied Piper of Hamelin, The Doctor devises a crazy but workable solution to the problem.
