In High Moon, Tesla’s picture appears in a newspaper and he’s resting his hand on Robo’s head. The comic take’s place in 1887 or something, so I was quite delighted that it seems feasible that he was actually working on Robo as early as that. There’s sort of a Tesla-verse between Atomic Robo, High Moon and Five Fists of Science.

I actually agree with you about crossovers, but what use is being a comic fan if not being able to geek out about what-ifs?

High Moon has made references to Atomic Robo, or at least to Tesla. It’s not really a crossover.

Dave -I’m pretty sure you have another loyal fan in the Geek Syndicate boys now. And yes. I am a monster.

Josh -Gallagher’s a great guy and High Moon rocks. But personally I hate crossovers. You have different fictional worlds operating on very different sets of rules. Once you break the rules of your world, (by incorporating a character from another book), you break the illusion that your world could be “real”.

I could see a Robo/ Tom Strong crossover, Robo /Madman!, or Robo/ Ghost Zero. Maybe Robo /Sgt. Zero also, but I’d need to read more.

But it still comes back to my intense dislike of crossovers getting in the way.

I look at books that I really respect like Hellboy and madman. They have done crossovers with a lot of different characters, and without exception the stories always feel weird and just wrong somehow.

You wouldn’t want Gandalf to make a guest appearance in a Harry Potter book. Why do people always do this with comics?

So that’s my excuse for not making it happen. =D
