Atomic Ace and the Robot Rampage

Plot Summary

Atomic Ace may be a superhero, but he's still a normal dad with a son. And Ace's son sometimes finds life a little boring.

 

It's an ordinary day for Ace and his family until the evil Roboconqueror accidentally sends his mechanoid army after Ace's son instead of Ace himself. Suddenly a dull day at school is turned into a race against robots! With Ace busy in space diverting a meteor threat, who will be on Earth to save the day?

Atomic Ace and the Robot Rampage is a welcome sequel to Jeff Weigel's acclaimed graphic story Atomic Ace (He's Just My Dad). Readers will thrill to another adventure as Ace and his super family lead the way to victory!

Reviews

"...the bold, graphic layout with intricate details will attract readers." School Library Journal

"Illustrated with brightly colored comics-style panels inset into larger scenes, this rhymed ruckus can be read with equal ease as a straightforward Pow!-Zap!-Save-the-Earth adventure or a tongue-in-cheek takeoff-especially as, in the end, after Mom's return to active duty is expedited by a corps of robots rewired to do the domestic chores, Atomic Ace flies off with a wink."
