BOOM. You can start with this one and know what's going on from page one. KA-BOOM. Then go back and read the other volumes in any order. THWACKA-BOOM. Oh, a plot? Okay, fine. Astronauts are stranded in a deteriorating orbit, and it's up to Atomic Robo to save them in a race against the laws of physics!"
