Kids Today And Dogs of War #2
Scott and I stumbled across this blog where a seven year old reviews comics. We wanted to ask them to review Atomic Robo, but they beat us to the punch! I don’t know why, but this review means a lot to me. I guess it’s confirmation that we’re on track.
Moving on to our next issue: it was supposed to come out this week but some kind of delay at the printer has put us back to next week. I assume it’s a delay at the printer because we turned in everything for this issue early, like we normally do, so whatever’s going on has nothing to do with Team Robo.
But let’s look at the bright side. That just gives you an extra week to bask in advance reviews! …C’mon, people. Work with me here, I need a positive spin on this!
Comics Bulletin must have liked Dogs of War #2. They gave us our highest score yet over there! Kleefeld gave us a right nice review as well. I always enjoy that he picks up on the characterization I sprinkle into every issue of Atomic Robo. A lot of reviewers seem to think that characterization is something you can only do once you’ve paused the story or action to take the reader aside and tell them “Spider-Man feels guilty” or whatever. Kleefeld doesn’t make that mistake. As Dwight Moody and Lord John Whorfin tell us, “Character is who you are in the dark”. Well, character is also how you choose to bludgeon a giant ant to death.
