the All New Atom #5 - DC


Ok, with this issue, we have a name for our "Anti-Atom". His civilian name is Mr. Rundine, and he goes by "Dwarfstar". How he got, and seems to mimic the Atom's power . . . . . . is still a mystery. We also find out that Dean Mayland, is in on the conspiracy also. In fact, he may be the ringleader. But Ryan has more things to worry about. First Dean Mayland called Ryan's father in, from Hong Kong, to try to talk him out of the whole Atom thing. Probably because he knows that eventually he'll get in his way. Well then we still have the microscopic aliens that are living on Ryan's dog, Copernicus. They're getting ready to invade Ivytown. And they're going to start with Ryan, because they think he's the only one that could cause them any problem. Then there's the sewer god, M'nagalah. Apparently he, it (?), is also ready to fight the Prater, and wants Ryan to fight by it's side. Then there's all the stuff going on with Ryan and his other scientist buddies. With Ryan's help they've a singularity field generator, that is powered off of Ryan's belt. It'll help with his environment, and his stability, when size changing. Also the piece of alien technology that Ryan brought up with him, the bangstick, powered by the alien engine that he found. And not to mention that all these scientists will also be in harms way if the Dean finds out that they're helping Ryan. Man, talk about a lot of stuff going on in 1 issue. Gail Simone is pulling us in head first, and isn't allowing us to come up for air. She's awesome! Did I mention that I'm glad John Byrne isn't on the book anymore? Anyways, this is an awesome book and it's only going to get better.
