REVIEWS\\n
\\nStephen\\n
Atomic Robo Vol 6 #4\\u2028
Written: Brian Clevinger\\u2028
Art: Scott Wegener\\u2028
Colors: Ronda Pattison\\u2028
Letters: Jeff Powell\\u2028
Previously: Robo tried to save some astronauts in space. And then it went HORRIBLY WRONG. So, then Robo tried to get to the bottom of it only to find a big damn conspiracy with tanks and guns and stuff. This issue? He\\u2019s on the run and the fate of everyone in the world lay in the hands of a trucker and some HAM radio hobbyists. Seriously. Not buying ATOMIC ROBO comics is the biggest mistake of your life. Do something right for a change and pick up an issue. Start with this one if you have to. Your only regret will be lamenting what took you so long.\\n

The name\'s Cross. Jahan Cross. Move over, James Bond; there\'s a new secret agent in the galaxy, and he has the weight of the Empire behind him! Cross\'s mission takes him and his assistant IN-GA 44 to the affluent Corporate Sector. There, on the trail of stolen droid technology, they will rub elbows with diplomats and desperadoes, captains of industry and sergeants of the local police-and rub most of them the wrong way!

Starman Omnibus Volume 04\\n
The acclaimed series STARMAN, starring a Gen-X super hero from the 1990s, is re-presented in high quality format, featuring spectacular art by Eisner Award winner Tony Harris.\\n
In this volume, Starman stands shoulder to shoulder with heroes including DC\\u2019s Captain Marvel, Batman and many others.\\n
First, in a story set in the 1940s, Ted Knight, the original Starman, works with Captain Marvel and Bulletman to clear himself of espionage charges.\\n
Then, back in the 1990s, young Jack Knight, the new Starman, must capture the deadly Doctor Phosphorous before embarking on a mission into space to find lost hero Will Payton. And in a never-before-collected story, Starman teams up with Batman and Hellboy to rescue his father, Ted Knight, from neo-Nazis who have tapped into a mystical power source.
