- Title: Atomic Robo Vol. 7 #3 (of 5)
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Brian Clevinger
- Artist: Scott Wegener
While stranded on the island of the Flying She-Devils of the Pacific, Atomic Robo and the rag-tag band of fearless jet-pack-strapped female pilots come under attack by Japanese bombers, submarines, and killer robots.
The latest issue of Atomic Robo: The Flying She Devils of the Pacific #3 is pretty much nonstop action as the She-Devils’ attempts to turn back the invaders fail and they’re eventually forced to flee the island. Our atomic-powered robotic pal, in a moment of stupid heroism, helps the women escape but finds himself captured by the force led by a Japanese pilot who shot Atomic Robo down twice during WWII.
With so much action there’s not a lot of time for character and story development, but writer Brian Clevinger does find places to insert the oddball humor of the comic we’ve all come to know and love. Hopefully next issue will reveal the identities and motives of the She-Devils’ enemies and continue to bring more zany action. Worth a look.

I love Atomic Robo but don’t have a comic shop near me and the bookstore closest that carries comics only has DC and Marvel so I always have to wait until the trade paperbacks come out. This series looks good and I can’t wait to read it!
