ATOMIC ROBO #5
Written by Brian Clevinger

I had planned to do a full review of this issue of Atomic Robo, but, while it was still great, it didn't measure up to the previous four outings. There were many pages that were completely wordless and, in a book like this where the wit and comedic dialogue is the best part, that makes for a rather low key issue.
To be fair, there are still a lot of great lines in this, but the story is basically all setup for the big finale next issue. My favourite line of the issue was when Robo met up with the other team in front of two huge doors of the underground complex. One of the characters says, "Those are end boss doors!". My video game nerd side couldn't help but laugh at that.
I guess a quick synopsis of the plot is in order before ending this review. Robo and crew find secret underground base that appeared out of nowhere. They split into two teams and enter. They explore for several wordless pages before finding robots, tanks and other old inventions that Robo has tangled with in the past before ending the issue with a fight with a bunch of robots before Hellsingrad, the villain from the first issue, is revealed and the issue ends with a to be continued.
Solid story that is still worth reading, but no where near as funny or entertaining as previous issues.
Verdict - Check It
