Robo v2 #2
Okay, this snuck up on me. Looks like Atomic Robo and the Dogs of War #2 is now available for pre-order.
The Eisner-nominated adventures continue… June, 1943: control of the Mediterranean hangs in the balance as the Allied Invasion of Sicily crashes against elite Nazi soldiers in “walking tank” armor that only ATOMIC ROBO can stop! Too bad he’s battered, beaten, shot, hit with grenades, captured, and miles away. What does this mean for the Allies who are trapped between the sea and these unstoppable Nazi super weapons?
Pick it up locally or online. Heavy Ink did a great job of keeping folks supplied with Robo issues the first time around, so they’re gettin’ the plug this time too. You guys know by now how difficult it can be to track down issues of Atomic Robo, so I definitely suggest pre-ordering to secure yours now.
This was a fun issue to write. It’s basically a series of fight scenes linking up with and interconnecting with one another for twenty-two pages. But what I really love about this new series is how much higher Scott and Ronda have raised their respective bars. Here’s a couple pages — with my inane dialog out of the way — showing off their amazing work on this volume.
Ronda in particular pulls off some wonderful subtle lighting effects to simulate the passage of time in the second half of the issue. Keep an eye out for that when you pick it up yourself September 10th.
