Yay!! He's back. Well he's not Ray Palmer, but Ryan Choi seems to be up for the challenge. First of all we have Gail Simone writing, and she's doing a bang up job. John Byrne is on pencils, whom I'm still upset with after the whole Blood of the Demon thing, but with Trevor Scott on inks, the story is very visually compelling. Oh and I can't forget Ariel Olivetti's awesome covers. I mean, look at that. We see some more of the "anti-atom" this issue. His name is Mr. Rundine, and he fancies himself a murdering poet. As he's putting on his atom suit, he's reciting his newest poem, over his freshest body. "Unseeing eyes, all crack'd and open, comprehend the squandered life. Symphonic scream to plea unspoken red webs of hope on bloodied knife." Ok. Kinda' gruesome. We also see Ryan, still in the sewers, talking to the "Cancer God". After taking in some of his psychotic rantings, he's creeped out enough and takes off. Off course he runs into the ant warriors also. Still don't know what's going on with these guys, but he does end up grabbing a particle drive. Which he takes back to his scientist friends to study. Ryan also seems to be having a strange sexual attaction to the women at Ivy University. There's a student that comes on to him, and then Prof. Zuel asks him out. At the drive-in, as she's crawling all over him, he comes to realize that she's being controlled by the "Cancer God". But, it's a little to late as she takes him captive in her compact, and then swallows it. We also see some Puritans coming to the drive-in whom appear to be worshipping M'nagalah. And finally we have the "anti-atom" going after one of Ryan's scientist friends, Panda. Like I said, awesome story, and pretty decent art. Loath I am to admit that. But anyways, overall good book. I think you should add it to your list and give it a shot.
