sergebroomBrian Clevinger & Scott Wegener have a new “Atomic Robo” story out there.
In “Atomic Robo and the Deadly Art of Science”, which was set in 1930, newly born Robo was learning how to become a two-fisted crimefighter, much to the chagrin anbd disapproval of papa Nikola Tesla, when he discovered the real reason why his father had invented alternating current. The first issue of "Atomic Robo and the Ghost of Station X” begins in equally fine form. It’s now 2011, and Robo gets a call from Steve Jobs, in the course of which he makes fun of the latter's iPad design, before he gets a call about an imperiled orbiter, then another call about a Bletchley Park building that has vanished. Because Robo has only 7 hours to find a way to save the orbiter, he must ask for the help of two of Tesladyne’s Action Scientists that he had exiled to the coldest part of Norway after a screwup of theirs.

"I mean, honestly. Two years of standing in a perpetual blizzard? It was one little mistake."
"We did nearly destroy the Universe."
"Technically. But, y'know, we didn't."
