the All New Atom #16 - DC


I gotta say, I really like these covers that Landronn's been turning in for this series. And I'm really not a big fan. But I'm liking these. We get a bunch more weirdness from Ivy Town this issue. It's written by Roger Stern, with the usual artwork of Mike Norton. Again, I have to say, I think Mike's stuff is really improving. Ryan gets a little hint this issue that Dean Mayland may not be the man he's pretending to be. The Head goes nuts when he and Panda start talking about him. Right now the Dean is trying to confuse Ryan, and give him false leads. He's working with someone, but we don't really know who yet. The town is sent in to the psychedelic era this issue by Xotar. He's from the 120th century, and he's come to Ivy Town for a little revenge. He was once beaten by the Justice League. So he was hoping to transform Ivy Town, and from there, the world. But of course Ryan throws a wrench in to his plans. His quantum fields in his belt disrupt Xotar's effects so he's the only one that's not changing. But that's ok. He's the only one that doesn't need to. So anyways he beats him, and then on of the Linear Men show up to pick him up. Next issue Wonder Woman comes to town, because the DMA is starting to focus some attention on it, because of all the metahuman activity. Overall a pretty decent book. But . . a little weird.
