Dentro de este grupo podemos incluir aAtomic Robo, comic independiente escrito por Brian Clevinger y dibujado Scott Wegener, que para la alegría de muchos recibirá su adaptación animada gracias al estudio The Fictory a través de un cortometraje que será conocido como Atomic Robo: Last Stop.

Lo scrittore Brian Clevinger, come anticipato sul suo sito lo scorso gennaio, ha confermato che Atomic Robo, la sua creazione per la casa editrice Red 5 Comics, con l’artista Scott Wegener, sta per ottenere un cortometraggio prodotto dallo studio di animazione The Fictory, intitolato “Atomic Robo: Last Stop“.

Petite découverte du jour que ce court métrage sur ce robot guerrier accomplissant des missions d’un genre particulier. Il y a un petit côté Hellboy version robot la dedans.
