After a week of voting by You, the Legion of faithful Spoilerites, the winner to the third annual Major Spoilers Costume Contest is announced. Congratulations go out to Devin Harrigan who entered his Atomic Robo creation. Devin not only wins the bragging rights to count himself as a champion at cosplay, but he also picks up Iron Man wall-art from Fat Head.com.

Who’s going to the Baltimore Comic Convention this weekend (October 10th and 11th, at the Baltimore Convention Center)? If you are going on Saturday, pay special attention to all the cosplayers in attendance.

Here’s what you need to do:
- Look for Victoria and her BF Brian at the Baltimore Comic Con.
- Get your picture taken with the two of them.
- Send your picture to contest@majorspoilers.com by October 17, 2009, and you’ll be entered to win this most awesome Atomic Robo statue!

So what are you waiting for? Get your rear end down to the Baltimore Comic-Con, stalk one of the Major Spoilers own, and possibly win the big prize!

If you are looking for a perfect holiday gift, then Red 5 Comics has you covered, as it is releasing all three volumes of Atomic Robo in December.
If you can’t get enough Atomic Robo, check out Digital Robo over at the Nuklear Power website. It’s a short seven page story titled “The Yonkers Devil”. This may be a one-time only deal, although if you flood the Nuklear Power site this week (and next) to read and reread the short, it may change someone’s mind.
If you’ve been following all things Atomic Robo, you’ve known that there have been hints and fuzzy photos that indicated an Atomic Robo statue was on the way. Now it’s official, as Brian Wegener sent word that the units are shipping right now!
These are pretty small statues, standing just under 5-inches high. Only 250 are being made, and since I just bought two of them, there are now at most 248 remaining.
Tech specs, and a picture gallery, after the jump!
When the screaming starts, hit the kill switch
Of the three Atomic Robo story arcs we’ve been presented with so far, this one has been the one to really warp your mind to the point where you had better understand a little about theoretical physics, or know all the intricacies of Back to the Future 1, 2, and 3, plus the animated series, and that ride at Universal Studios in order to keep your sanity. It helps of course that the creators inject their likeness into the story to really tie it together nicely.
When you are a world renowned robot that has crossed paths with everyone from Einstein to Hawking, hanging out at a cafe with Dr. Carl Sagan talking about a creature from out of space doesn’t seem too crazy. A fear of bugs on the other hand…
Next week (August 19, 2009) the next installment of Atomic Robo and We Kill Monsters hit the stands, and Red 5 Comics sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek.
Over at the Atomic Robo website, the Robo creators have posted an image of the most kick-assiest kick-ass costume of Atomic Robo. Devin has done some tremendous work (more pics after the jump), and I’m hoping he enters the Third Annual Major Spoilers Costume Contest when it kicks off next month.
When Atomic Robo creators Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener appeared on the Major Spoilers Podcast, they mentioned this story arc, Shadow From Beyond Time, wouldn’t be set exclusively during the 1920’s. Issue #3, in this five issue arc, finds Atomic Robo’s adventures once again entering into H.P. Lovecraft territory.
When the creators of Atomic Robo appeared on the Major Spoilers Podcast, they did mention there would be an Atomic Robo statue headed our way.
Still no word on price or availability, but the ad is a good sign that this statue is getting closer to sitting on my self shelf.
Since I’m still high on the latest issue of Atomic Robo, I thought I’d feature another Scott Wegener sketch showcasing Robo in period dress from the issue.

The Doom that Came to Robo
So here we go with the second installment of the Shadow from Beyond Time story line. If you thought the first issue didn’t have enough of the fighty-fighty, and the laughy-laughy, then you’re going to be pleased as Punch (although without the murder and infanticide), as Robo and Charles Fort attempt to bring down the monster Lovecraft with a roadster and a couple of lightning guns.
Arriving in stores this week is the second chapter in the latest Atomic Robo series. Red 5 Comics has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue, that you can see after the jump.
We’ve read the full issue, and it rocks!
Yes, Free Comic Book Day was weeks ago, but dang it, I’ve been busy with stuff (super secret stuff), and I only just made it to my FCBD stash in my ever growing comic book stack, which is relatively small when compared to my ever growing comic book collection that has not been bagged, tagged, and boarded. It’s all on my to do list, just like this Mini Retro Review of Red 5 Comics’ Free Comic Book Day Atomic Robo issue.
