Up and Atom with the all new series

Tuesday, July 4, 2006 - Soon Van

The All New Atom #1

The All New Atom #1; Written by Gail Simone, art by John Byrne and Trevor Scott, cover by Ariel Olivetti

There's a changing of the guard and with the new Atom, it's even a changing of the race. Teacher is gone and it's now over to the student to take over the role of slightly diminishing turns.

The startling adventures of the new Atom begin in this series based on concepts developed by comics superstar Grant Morrison, written by Gail Simone (VILLAINS UNITED) with Art by John Byrne (ACTION COMICS) and Trevor Scott (THE AUTHORITY) and gorgeous covers by Ariel Olivetti (SPACE GHOST)!

Strange things have been happening in Ivy Town since Ray Palmer disappeared. In fact, it appears that the whole town's been experimented on for decades.

Enter Ryan Choi - the young hotshot professor who's filling the empty slot on Ivy University's teaching staff... and who inadvertently ends up filling the old Atom's super-heroic shoes!

Can Choi make a difference in a town more creepy and mysterious than anyone ever realized? And can he live up to the towering legend of his predecessor?


Gold theme this anniversary, Battler Briton is a five parter from Wildstorm/DC Comics. Hitler, Nazis, the War sequel, it's all in October 1942.

Also from DC, OMAC.

Returning for a second volume, Death Jr from Image Comics.

Rosario Dawson, Image Comics and 12 Gauge hit the ghoulies with Occult Crimes Taskforce.

A Marvel Comics battle royale (with cheese) in the pages of Beyond. Where all and some of the hidden few (such as Gravity and The Hood) are dumped onto a planet and left to fight against each other.

Who knows what to make of Vampirella Revelations Book 2 Prototype Edition from Harris Comics.

Sir Richard Branson kicks into the comics scene with Virgin Comics. First out of the blasting blocks is Devi. Created by Shekhar Kapur it's about the warrior goddess Devi who fights the fight out of everyone's sight.

Devil's Due Publishing sees another of the Dragonlance Chronicles hitting the public's eyes like a dragon's spit on roast.

Avatar Press continues with the horror movie flavour in the Fearbook pages of Friday The 13th, Nightmare On Elm St and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Gory, gory, gory.

Transformers: Evolutions Hearts Of Steel from IDW Publishing throws the Autobots and Decepticons into our age of the Industrial Revolution. Bumblebee happens to be a steam drill in this. As slightly odd as being on Mars.

Dark Horse are taking the grit and roughness to another level for the Cimmerian in Conan And The Songs Of The Dead. A five part series beginning in the wretched wastes of Stygia.

From Desperado and Image Comics, comes Sidekick. Dirt pay as a sidekick for one superhero prompts Eddie Edison to gig as sidekicks for other superheroes. It's like running around having four jobs at once.
