Disappointing doubleheader

I've never heard of Red 5 Comics, but the ideas in these two stories grabbed my attention. The results... Atomic Robo borrows a bit too much from Hellboy. Actually, it borrows almost everything from Hellboy other than instead of a red demon, the lead character is a robot. However, the art is fantastic.

Neozoic is an interesting idea that just doesn't pan out. The big idea is that the meteor that killed the dinosaurs hit the moon instead and man and dino evolved together. Not a bad idea, but the story is little more than a Savage Land fill-in story from X-Men Unlimited and, while there is clear potential in the artists, the art has a lot of anatomy and perspective issues that are distracting. Overall, the writing is a big disappointment, but Wegener is a definite find.
