ATOMIC ROBO: THE GHOST OF STATION X #1
Script by Brian Clevinger
Illustrated by Scott Wegna
Red5 Comics
If you're still griping that there's only one
Film of our hero Buckaroo Banzai,
You owe it to yourself to have some fun
Like watching our Atomic Robo fly
Up into space to save some astronauts
While on the ground his team works hard to find
A bit of Bletchley Park. Now one's first thoughts
Might be: this is disjointed. Free your mind.
Pulp logic is its own reward: your brain
Should be a toy as well as tool. What's more
Where else can robot genius explain
What's up with Apple? Insights by the score!
Well, one or two. Just read it. You'll be glad
That Clevinger and Wegna have gone mad.
I have a lot of friends who got into this series - I've got to give it another try. I've recently been devouring Batman graphic novels and realizing how deep many of them are. Atomic Robo seems to be the exact opposite, but tons of fun.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. There is wry social commentary to be had every once in a while, but this is just a crazy, silly, funny entertainment. Atomic Robo is for being happy and dreaming big.
