| Astro Boy Vol 11 : 3 of 5 | |

 Parts of this book may have been the first Astro I ever read, since I remember some of these stories fairly well from my last visit to Japan. My pal Matt got me started on Astro (thanks to the books in his bathroom!), and then sent me his collection to get me started! There are three regular length stories in this volume, and one super short one (even though it's only a few pages, it still has heart). I really liked Bem, the robot bomb boy, who just wants to be peaceful - Astro has to help him escape from his evil makers, and poor Bem ends up sacrificing himself to save the earth! The next story is about a cool underground tank and the kidnapping of Mustachio, and the next is about a weird criminal who has returned from Mars with terrible powers. He can project electrical current and cause people to have heart attacks! Astro and Professor Ochanomizu hatch a great scheme to capture him, which involves faking the Professor's death (I knew it couldn't be true, but they fooled me!). Guess it's time to start the next Astro volume.
