Hint: He’s featured in the image above.

Of course it is none other than Astro Boy! Dark Horse Comics announced the return of the beloved jet-powered character in September in a collection of rare and out-of-print omnibus. Astro Boy began in 1952 under the original name of Mighty Atom, written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka. Astro Boy lives in a world where robots and humans co-exist, and is a robot himself, taking down crime.
