I guess this series is going to stay focused on the weirdness factor. It would be nice to find out what happened to Ray Palmer, but my guess is that we won't until 52 is done. You know, the continuity thing. Anyways, we've haven't seen, or even heard mention, or Ray in 52, but then we haven't seen hide nor hair of Aquaman either. Anyways, last issue we met the Linear Man and a Dr. Hyatt. The second of whom, the first was chasing through time. It all goes back to this time portal that Dr. Hyatt and Ray Palmer discovered together. Well Ray took off on his usual "heroing", leaving Dr. Hyatt to guard this portal. Which I guess basically drove him insane. Anyways, somehow he got in to the time pool, and regenerated a younger self, but with his senile dementia he thought, being the younger self, that he was actually his son. Which he had none. Like I said "WEIRD". So showing the Linear Man, and proving to him what Dr. Hyatt had done, he showed Dr. Hyatt mercy, since he is 78 years old, and let him off the hook. As long as Ryan agreed to watch over the Dr. and the time pool. You can see this one's going to come back and bite him in the ass from a mile away. But without developments like this, we wouldn't have continuity. Anyways, great story by Gail Simone, and the artwork by Mike Norton was actually pretty decent. Not great, but not bad. I've always been a fan of the Atom, and this series has definitely piqued my curiosity.
