Atomic Robo Goes Hollywood!

Brian!

Too bad it’s not quite as cool as it sounds.

Apparently there’s a scene in the upcoming Superhero Movie that takes place in a comic book convention where Red 5 Comics has a booth. Among the booth’s props is a 6ft tall cut out of Robo from the first printing of Issue #1. No idea what kind of screen time we’ll have, but it’s got to be tough to miss something like that.

If there was any kind of immediate feedback system in theaters, I’d ask folks to watch it. The message, “I paid eight bucks just to see Atomic Robo in a movie,” would not be a subtle one. But, alas, there is no such immediate feedback system in place.

You know how back issues of Atomic Robo are really hard to find? Well, Heavy Ink’s got them, but there’s no telling how fast they’ll go so don’t slack around.

This has nothing to do with anything, but I finally got around to picking up Burnout Paradise. It’s nice to finally enjoy a Burnout game again. It’s not the return to the franchise’s origins; it’s not the Burnout game I would’ve made; but it’s a game I’m glad they made.

    That’s still pretty cool. I learned about Madman in sort of that way from Chasing Amy and Grendel through Comic Book Villains.

    Ive missed out on Atomic Robo since issue one, on account of I’m broker than DC’s continuity. Will Atomic Robo be collected in trade or hardback when it’s all out?

    It will! The first collected volume should be available between June and December of this year.

    Oh, phew. This way, since I can’t get them all and satisfy my near-OCD completist tendencies, I can at least fake it with #1 and the trade.

    The forbidden fruit of Robo is sweet.
