== Career == === Webcomics === Clevinger's webcomic, ''[[8-Bit Theater]]'', which is hosted on his site Nuklear Power,<ref>[http://www.nuklearpower.com/ Nuklear Power] Retrieved November 13, 2011.</ref> is very loosely based on the video game ''[[Final Fantasy (video game)|Final Fantasy I]]'' and tells the story of four would-be fantasy heroes, known as the Light Warriors, who set out to save the world from the embodiment of [[Character design of Final Fantasy#Chaos|Chaos]], but are conflicted over their own stupidity and malice. The comic was created using [[History of video game consoles (third generation)|8-bit]] [[sprite (computer graphics)|graphic sprites]] taken primarily from the Final Fantasy NES games, or created by either Clevinger himself or Kevin Sigmund. Spanning 1225 episodes, it ran from March 2, 2001, to June 1, 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nuklearpower.com/2010/04/17/forum-again-plus-stickers/|title=Forum again plus stickers!|first=Brian|last=Clevinger|publisher=Nuklear Power|accessdate=April 18, 2010}}</ref> In addition to 8-Bit Theater, Clevinger is the creator of two mini-comics: ''Dynasty Memory'', created in 2002 as a parody of the ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' series, and ''Field of Battle'', created in August 2005 as a general parody of [[first-person shooter]] games, drawing most of its influence from ''[[Battlefield 2]]''. In 2009, Clevinger started two other webcomics on Nuklear Power. ''Warbot in Accounting'', co-written with artist Zack Finfrock, is about a war machine's struggles with human daily life in a [[White-collar worker|white collar job]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nuklearpower.com/warbot/|title=Warbot In Accounting|first= Brian |last= Clevinger |publisher= Nuklear Power |accessdate= August 16, 2009 }}</ref> ''How I Killed Your Master'', "a [[Martial arts film|kung fu movie]], but a comic", is co-written with John Wood and drawn by Matt Speroni.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nuklearpower.com/hikym-faq/|title=How I Killed Your Master FAQ|first= Brian |last= Clevinger |publisher= Nuklear Power |accessdate= August 16, 2009 }} {{Dead link|date=August 2022|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> === Print === [[Atomic Robo]], drawn by Scott Wegener, began as a six-issue [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] published by [[Red 5 Comics]] starting in October 2007.<ref>[http://www.red5comics.com/?p=60 Atomic Robo Debuts October 2007]</ref> It was nominated in the "Best Limited Series" category of the 2008 [[Eisner Award]]s,<ref name="newsarama">[http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=153595 2008 Eisner Award Nominees Named] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090125140525/http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=153595 |date=January 25, 2009 }} (press release), [[Newsarama]], April 14, 2008</ref> won by ''[[The Umbrella Academy]]''.<ref name="Eisner">[http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_eisners_main.shtml The 2008 Eisner Awards: 2008 Eisner Award Winners] [[San Diego Comic-Con International|Comic-Con]].

The book recounts the adventures of Nuklear Man and his sidekick, Atomik Lad, as they fight against rogue military weapons, highly evolved civilizations, the trials of everyday life, an angst-filled over-villain of undeniable power, the ever exotic Dr. Menace, and their own impulses. A sequel called Atomik Age was planned but never completed. === Style === Clevinger has stated that "[his] favorite comics are the ones where the jokes are on the reader."<ref name="np-040403">{{cite web|url=http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=040403 |title=Teaser! |first=Brian |last=Clevinger |publisher=Nuklear Power |date=April 3, 2004 |accessdate=March 27, 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061122083100/http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=040403 |archivedate=November 22, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
