Ugh.

I was so disappointed at this one. And I love Atomic Robo, and I'm a sucker for old west too. Imagine my disappointment at all of this. Dammit Robo. It started out nice, then kept losing interest until the last 30 pages that were so predictable and boring, and that's just sad.

Robo after the last volume Dr. Dinosaur sent him back in the 1800s and he's now alone and confused and all that, he gets into trouble with gangs of the old west and outlaw and all that, while trying to figure out what happened all the while trying to save the day from human trafficking and whatnot.

I think the main reason I didn't like this was that there weren't any back and forths with Robo and the other main characters, meaning, any sarcasm and talkback and all that irony Robo puts out. Every single secondary character was at best one-dimensional and boring... and I don't like writing a bad review for Robo so I'll stop here.

I loved the artwork. That's all I'm going to say.

And I miss Dr. Dinosaur.
