The Will to Power ? The action-science adventures of Nikola Tesla's automated intelligence machine begin in 1938. Atomic Robo is secretly hired by the U.S. Army to infiltrate the hidden Himalayan mountain base of Baron Heinrich Von Helsingard before he perfects a superweapon for the Nazis.
I really enjoyed this one. Probably one of my favourites of the free comics so far.
I loved the quirky attitude of the robot, in how he thinks of himself compared to the humans. In a way I find this way less problematic than many of the super heroes who are, presumably, human, and how they kill other humans. That the robot is killing Nazis also helps.
And once again we have a comic set during WWII, and I know it's not based in reality, but wouldn't it have been nice for the Normandy comic to have even remotely similar passion and skill and variety in the art?
The US government bribes an atomic robot with citizenship and personhood to get him to undertake a deniable black op against Nazis. It turns out it wasn't a trap by the Nazis to get their hands on his atomic heart. Instead, he just shoots a Nazi scientist with electricity, because he was built by Tesla.
Finished the first six books. Great sense of humor, really reminds me a lot of Hellboy but with Tesla and robots/electronics/mechanics mixed in with supernatural aspects.
Also read some of the free comic book day issues and holy cow, doctor dinosaur has got to be one of the funniest bad guys I've ever seen.
