Atomic Robo and The Vengeful Dead

Atomic Robo #14

by Brian Clevinger, Scott Wegener (Illustrator), Gerry Conway (Introduction )

Atomic Robo is no the head administrator at an advanced research institute training the next generation of Action Scientists. One of the students is his sorta-secret robot son with the rebooted intelligence core from the Advanced Learning Algorithm Network that nearly killed all life on Earth, then framed Atomic Robo for it., then got Tesladyne shut down by the secret fascist science police which indirectly threatened all life on Earth (again), then got a bunch of his comrades probably killed and definitely hunted as terrorists for a few years.

But that's all in the past. These days everything is nice and OOPS, ALL VAMPIRES!!!

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

In one corner: Atomic Robo, Jenkins, plus the new class of Action Scientists (including Alan) coming into their own. In the other corner: vampires. Like all Atomic Robo stories, there’s a lot more, but that should provide reason enough to read this without getting into spoilers.
