Thus begins the first issue of “Atomic Robo and the Flying She-Devils of the Pacific”. This story set in 1951 finds the robotic son of Nikola Tesla flying an experimental jet plane for Howard Hughes way away from everything over the Pacific Ocean. Not quite everything actually. He comes under attack by rocket-powered foo fighters, and survives only due to the providential appearance of jetpack-endowed guys. Except that...
“A girl?!”
“Yeah, sometimes that happens.”
Before you know it, Hazel the Sky Pirate introduces him to the rest of the gang, all of them ladies who had refused to go back to their old lives when the War ended. That includes Lauren, a genius of mechanical stuff who, because the others didn’t have planes to go around, improvised jetpacks from what was lying around.
Typical loony stuff from Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener. I’m looking forward to the 2nd issue, in which the Pirates’s uncharted She-Devil island will probably become a bit more charted than its inhabitants would like, due to the mysterious and quite bellicose foo fighters.
