I was going to add a trade to an amazon book order to get the free shipping and decided to get another Atomic Robo trade. I would be getting vol 3 but it's out of stock. Vol 4 and 5 are in stock- Can I read any of these out of order (that's kind of my impression of the Atomic Robo series) or should I just get vol 5 of Incredible Herc instead and get Atomic Robo vol 3 some other time?

Get Hercules, Atomic Robo is meh.

Robo V4 IMO - (although you can read them out of order with no issues)

Punchy is wrong. Robo is awesome.
You can read Robo out of order. Each trade is more or less its own thing.

The stories can really be read in any order, I think. It's not a chronological history of Robo - it's often just done-in-one stories that take place at any time during his life.
