It is undoubtedly a compelling ending, though the events of the previous volume mean that it feels as if this is the only way it could end, and therefore has a sense of a mechanism winding down, rather than a flame burning its brightest. And what was the deal with the robot who murdered a human, who Gesicht visited?

But there's still the threat of Bora and that terrible teddy bear, Dr Roosevelt to clear up. Atom can now hate and he seems intent on using that hate to defeat Pluto. He is on a collision course with Pluto, who we know is sort of being coerced into his villainhood by Doctor Abullah. Similarly, the story continues to deviate from its template story 'The Greatest Robot in the World' by Osamu Tezuka (which you can pick up in a reasonably priced Astroboy collection from Dark Horse - it's volume 3 you want).Ītom is awake, revived by undergoing an upgrade of a similar nature to the process that created Pluto, the monstrous robot that has wreaked vengeance on the world's mightiest robots for the sins committed against Persia by the United States of Thracia and their allies. Whatever huge, awareness expanding conclusion you'd started to see the shape of in your head, it was not going to be the same thing as appears on the page. In a sense there was no way that the final volume of Pluto could not be disappointing.
