Atomic Robo: In Which I Make A Plea For A Wish To Come True

Last week, while I enjoyed a casual chat
With Brian Clevinger (such is the pow'r
Of Twitter), he did casually mention that
Atomic Robo soon would have its hour
In gaming! Old school pen-and-paper play!
And Savage Worlds was in the running as
The system! This hath prompted me to say
"Hell yes! You must!" for all that each one has
Could but enhance the other. Both contain
Potential for high pulp, ever fulfilled.
The game frankly encourages the main
Conceit the comic offers: you can build
A weapon, but instead, why not a man
Of metal, full of humor and a plan?

Atomic Robo Volume 4: Keep Calm And Trust In Science

Is ACTION SCIENCE not the greatest gig

For which a kid could ask? At Tesladyne,

Be careful when applying, though. A big

Job interview may lead one to a fine

Old mess of vampires! Such, in this brand-new

Atomic Robo volume, is the fate

Of Fischer. What starts as an interview

Erupts in madness. So begins a date

With Robo and with Jenkins, who kicks ass

In ways not even Wegener can draw

(Methinks though that it gives a touch of class

To just show the reactions and the awe

Of his workmates to his deeds in the fight)

Keep Calm and Trust In Science. Yes, that's right!
