Yes, cameos. And cameos that made me laugh.

It’s that time of the month! Atomic Robo 5 came out Wednesday and with it the fun and entertainment I have come to expect. A Pavolovian response indeed, with Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener (note: I don’t even have to check the spelling on their names anymore) bringing the goods for the fifth month in a row.

Go buy this comic. Go buy every issue of this book you can find; it’s that good. Give it to friends that scoff at your comic-buying ways. Tell them you can show them a story that has Nikolai Tesla’s self-aware electric man fighting robotic mummies in the desert. Tell them this same Atomic Robo hits Nazis. And then tell them that this same character is beating hell out of brains-in-robot-bodies and watch them scoff!

Then watch them come to realize that this is a fun book.

Clevinger’s brand of humor (evidenced in his wonderful webcomic 8-Bit Theater) and Wegener’s Mike Mignola-esque art go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly.
