"HIS SPACE HOLIDAY"
It's a solo Mr. Gum adventure! The rubbery Atomic has the day off on a distant planet. He's met a cute alien girl and is about to get a glimpse of the local wildlife. Prepare for giant space-monster action with guest art by Blue Monday creator CHYNNA CLUGSTON FLORES!
"It Girl and the Atomics" #6 is a fun little side step away from the main action set back on Earth; if all the interludes are this enjoyable and well-put-together, I don't think anyone will complain too much about not getting another issue drawn handsomely by regular artist Mike Norton. Rich and Clugston Flores clearly had a good working relationship back when Rich was Clugston Flores' editor at Oni Press, and that has continued through to here. If you haven't tried out "It Girl and the Atomics" yet, this is a fun place to start. Read Full Review
One shots like this I think are always great for an ongoing series. Not only does it keep the book on a monthly schedule, but it gives the series a chance to explore other elements of the universe. The other plus is that it gives new readers a perfect spot to jump on. Maybe after the next story arc we’ll have another one shot and touch base with Mr. Gum or another Atomic character (preferably Mr. Gum though) as this was a very successful one-shot. Read Full Review
Overall this is a fun issue that looks great. There's nothing terribly remarkable about it storywise, but good fun is good fun and sometimes that's all you need in a one-shot. And as a jumping-on point, this is a great way to get a feel for the Madman/It Girl atmosphere. It's just not absolutely essential either. Read Full Review
