Host Derek Coward takes a look at the latest Atomic Robo volume (The Ghost of Station X) from Red 5 Comics and The Bionic Man from Dynamite Entertainment.

Atomic Robo is back this week. I read a preview of the first issue of the latest miniseries Ghost of Station X and it looks like this is another in a long line of excellent Atomic Robo stories. If you haven’t read Atomic Robo, think Hellboy with a sense of humor. If you have read any of the previous Atomic Robo stories, then you know what kind of goodness to expect. Don’t be the type of chump who is tied in with buying 52 #1 issues from a company who will probably be cancelling at least half of them within the year, be the type of chump who buys one #1 from a company who will at least make sure to tell the entire story.

Webcomicteer and friend of the show Tommie Kelly has recently unveiled his newest project, Irish Comic News. The site is dedicated to the Irish comic book scene and includes interviews, forums, event guides and news about the artists and their projects.

There is a section entitled Buy Digital Comics that only contains Tommie’s books, but hopefully as the site grows,that section will be a great resource for finding Irish born creator-owned comics.

A huge plus is the fact that he is using the Arras WordPress theme, which I also happen to like a lot.
