The latest arc of Atomic Robo wraps up with a loud and fun issue. With Robo and friends in deep trouble they receive help from an unlikely source as the two big adversaries finally go head to head. As always it's a fun issue that doesn't do anything except entertain the reader page after page.

Red 5 ComicsIndependent comic book publisher Red 5 Comics, founded in 2007, burst onto the scene with a slate of creator- and publisher-owned titles, including Atomic Robo, Abyss, Neozoic, and ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction. Since then, the publisher has won the Gem Award for Best New Publisher and been nominated for multiple Eisner and Shuster Awards.

They have also been very active on the digital front, partnering with iVerse and ComiXology, among other providers. We recently had the chance to interview Red 5 founder Paul Ens as part of our Digital Comics Month, and he provided us with some in-depth and thought-provoking opinions about the present and future of the industry:

Robo is back with the latest arc and the first issue is on par with any of the previous ones. This story is set in the past and, as a result, Robo's personality is more naïve than in the issues set more in modern times. In some ways, he's more curious which makes him more charming. On the other hand, he's more trusting which seems to get him in more trouble. Either way, the issue is very good and shows off a side of Robo we haven't seen much of but one that is equally as funny as in previous issues. I enjoyed the start of this arc very much.

Atomic Robo Revenge Of The Vampire Dimension #1Atomic Robo: Revenge of the Vampire Dimension #1 of 4

The start of the fourth volume of Atomic Robo brings my first foray into the world of this very popular character. I've heard mostly nothing but good things about the series as it was presented to me as something similar to Indiana Jones meets Hellboy. Being a big fan of both characters in comic book form I figured this would be an easy win-win situation. However, in the back of my mind I had that nagging feeling that I would be disappointed. Especially with the cheesy element of Vampires in the title of the comic. I'm glad I didn't pay much attention to the nagging voice because I thoroughly enjoyed the comic.
