  The Weekly Crisis - Grant McLaughlin

  For $2.75, you're getting four rock solid stories (or parts thereof), which no matter how you look at it, is a pretty good deal. I'd also be remiss if I failed to mention that what few ads there are in this book are saved for the end, which is a nice bonus. ATPRSA #2 is a fine step forward for this anthology, and I look forward to what comes next. Read Full Review

  There's a little bit for everyone here. Anthologies are great primers for new readers and Clevinger wisely crosses over into video game territory to maybe try and bridge that gap. Despite multiple artists, the different visual styles all suit the story at hand and more importantly the Atomic Robo universe. Three out of four solid entries isn't bad for this kind of book and I'm sure that time will prove the one outlier to be a quality addition to the Robo mythos as well. Read Full Review

  Major Spoilers - Stephen Schleicher

  May 18, 2012

  While there are some odd story breaks in this issue, that is the risk you run when doing an anthology series this way. Regardless, this issue has more hits than misses, and it's certainly worth picking up. Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures #2 earns 3.5 out of 5 Stars. Read Full Review

  Razorfine - Alan Rapp

  Although all four stories are fun The Sparrow is still missing a certain robotic hero to liven things up, and it certainly feels like it would have been better served told in more than a few pages at a time (honestly, I'd completely forgotten what happened in this story in issue #1). Sadly, the killer robotic dogs on the cover don't make an appearance in this issue. Only the Rasputin tale stands out and I would have gladly traded the pages of one of the other stories to have this one fleshed-out a little more. Worth a look. Read Full Review
