ATOMIC ROBO # 2 “PEST CONTROL” (RED 5 COMICS)
Release Date: November 1, 2007 (Contemporary Setting)
Series: Atomic Robo
Horror Crosses: Them!
The Story: Atomic Robo heads to Nevada to deal with ants turned giant by radiation.
Notes: Of course, this is a recurrence of the incident from the film Them!
ATOMIC ROBO # 2 “ATOMIC ROBO VS. RASPUTIN” (RED 5 COMICS)
Release Date: November 1, 2007 (Setting is 1924)
Series: Atomic Robo
Horror Crosses: Hellboy (comics)
The Story: Thomas Edison uses his psychophone to summon the ghost of Rasputin in order to send him after Atomic Robo.
Notes: Though Rasputin is based on a real historical figure who has also become part of folklore, this is the particular version of Rasputin who fought Hellboy. Thomas Edison has been portrayed in fiction both within and outside the Horror Universe as a hero and a villain. Perhaps he suffered from multiple personality disorder.
