Atomic Robo goes Webcomic

Or possibly one of the mechs shot a bit clean off and knocked it into the water.

...help us...it's still alive...

And that concludes Atomic Robo and the Ring of Fire!

...Wait a minute, if they finished this story, then what's coming tomorrow?

Coming up is some short stories (starting with an epilogue to The Ring of Fire), while they build up a buffer for Volume 11 (The Temple of Od). Going back to full pages on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, with Real Science Adventures updates on Tuesday/Thursday (and that will be getting new content as well, once it's caught up).

Full pages, thank god. I'm cool with no weekends if it means we're off the drip feed!

And while I recognize that there are strengths in limitations, I also think there's such a thing as too many limitations, and that being able to use the entire page will no doubt open up art options that weren't there with the half-page format.

After all, it's always fun to get the occasional full-page splash art every once in a while.

Exactly. We haven't really had any full page (let alone double!) page splashes.

City of Skulls

In which Robo shared a dark secret to Yuri in 1992.

Man, don't you just hate it when that one body you didn't burn, that one computer you didn't fry, that one artifact of doom you didn't completely grind to powder, comes back to bite you in the ass?

I'm pretty sure this one is a reprint, actually. I remember it from one of the TP Bs as a backup story of some kind.

The Red Bot, it has consciousness?

...Why does this feel anticlimatic?

Hmm. I get the feeling that the robot wasn't meant to be sapient, but for some reason or other it had started developing sapience, and was in the process of emerging as a true AI. Sadly, it was already terrorizing the local populace, so it had to be put down. But yeah, that felt really anticlimactic. All that build-up, then it gets finished off-panel.

I'm not sure there would have been much to show, given how Robo's was already shown taking down robots just like it in significant numbers.

Next up: The Revenge of Dr. Dinosaur

I'm actually surprised it hasn't been posted to the site before, given that it's one of stories from the Vol. 1 Real Science Adventures run. The anthology-type one, the same one the previous story came from.

Must have been saving it for something like this.

Vengeance!

Not your average Godzilla attack...

EDIT: Also, who's doing the art here?

According to my TPB of Real Science Adventures vol. 1, it's someone by the name of Yoko Ota.

You mean Yuko Ota?

Right, Yuko Ota, my bad.

More vengeance conceiving!

Dr. Dinosaur strikes again!

I'm impressed he somehow managed to bypass the spam filters, even though just a cursory glance at the message subjects I'd expect them to get blasted into the trash right away.

Also the way he apparently went around the world to get the parts to make his Ultimate Spam Machine reminds me of all those sequences where in order to create some legendary recipe, the characters travel far and wide getting super rare ingredients.

Bypassing the filters set up by some of the best technical minds around so that he can deliver incredibly obvious spam is pretty much Dr. Dino in a nutshell.

Bug Hunt!
