the All New Atom #12 - DC


First of all, we find out that Dwarfstar is still milling about the cobblestones of Ivy Town. Speaking of which, the flyer from the Chamber of Commerce is hilarious. "Our only known serial killer hasn't been seen in days!", "New lowered Radiation levels mean it's probably okay to reproduce again!". Seriously . . hilarious! Anyways, Dwarfstar is gradually getting bigger, so now he's just stewing about what he's going to do to the Dean, and to Ryan. Speaking of Ryan, he's finally returned from China, and ends up with the same Anagram speaking cab driver. He has 2 messages for him this time, "Flay Imp Errand", which means "Find Ray Palmer", and "Hey, uphold Serene", which means "He needs your help". But when he tries to question him, he finds out he's some kind of similicrum. So in other words . . . he'll have to figure it out on his own. But then, the guy shows up at his house, with all of Ray's screwy rogues. They really are kind of lame. But he wants to test Ryan. To see if he's worthy of the challenge. After which he believes he is . . . so he exposes . . . his true identity . . . Chronos. And now . . they're about to set out on an adventure together. I'm glad Gail Simone going to be sticking around with this titles. She's transferring the reins of some of her other ones. And I really like the way that Mike Norton is improving. Of course it probably helped that Dan Green did his inks this issue. Overall, a cool, quirky book. And it should get even more interesting in the coming months.
