The 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago celebrates the discovery of the New World by showcasing the ingenuity of its industry.

New readers, dig on in. Never read any Robo? Don't worry! He probably doesn't even show up in this whole arc, so you won't miss anything. If you don't read this issue, you do miss Nikola Tesla flying by using electricity channeled through his suit. You make the call. Read Full Review

If you're a fan of Atomic Robo, this series is a bit of a no-brainer, but there's lots to like even you are unfamiliar with Nicola Tesla's greatest (fictional) creation. Although Brian Clevinger's scripting is a little on the slow side, the pieces that he's using look like they'll build into a compelling whole, and Erica Henderson is a lot of fun on the art side of things. It's definitely worth a look, but this opener isn't as strong as it could have been. Read Full Review
Even without Atomic Robo, writer Brian Clevinger still delivers a fun (if somewhat unmemorable) adventure. I like Erica Henderson's art, but at times felt like an odd choice for the tone of the comic. That said, I'm still likely to pick up the next issue. For fans. Read Full Review
