This book is really kind of funny. Not Ha-Ha! funny. More like ironic funny. We start out with Ryan feeling pretty good about himself because he feels like he's really getting through to his students. It seems like they're really paying attention. Come to find out, though, they're really only paying attention because they want to know all the details about his adventures as the Atom. Then you have his relationship with Prof. Doris Zuel. She the woman that was taken over by the god that lives in the sewers of the city. She's also like the woman in Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. But when she gets large, she gets psychotic. However, for some reason, Ryan is attracted to her. I think he also likes the attention though. So they decide to go on a date. It happens though right when Diana and Nemesis have rolled in to town to assess the danger Ivytown posses on the rest of the nation. There's also a new weirdo in town. He's got a symbiotic twin growing out of his chest who appears to have mental powers. And he seems to be intent on turning all of Ryan's friends against him. So when Diana shows up on Ryan's date, and turns in to Wonder Woman, Dr. Zuel is convinced that Ryan has turned on her. Which sends her in to a rage. Ryan wants to help Wonder Woman, but he also feels sorry for Doris. So he has to come between them to get Wonder Woman to stand down. But it's to late because Nemesis has decided, ". . . . invoke territorial martial law. Circle this town with everything we've got and take it off the grid. Total quarantine . . . . for sake of the world we shut Ivy down for good." I have to say, I think Mike Norton's pencils are getting better and better every issue. Of course Trevor Scott's inks could be helping too. But hey, if that's the case, just keep the team together. Because they're putting out some really nice looking stuff. And I'm still enjoying the Ladronn covers.
