Written by JEFF LEMIRE
Art by MAHMUD ASRAR & WALDEN WONG
Cover by GARY FRANK
Discover all-new allies, enemies and adventure as The Atom leaps from the pages of BRIGHTEST DAY into this one-shot special! Rising stars Jeff Lemire (SWEET TOOTH) and Mahmud Asrar (Avengers: The Initiative) update the Atom’s origin and kick off the tiny titan’s next major story, which continues this month in ADVENTURE COMICS #516 (see page 87). If you thought you knew Ray Palmer, then think again! The smallest hero in the DCU is about to become one of its biggest, and the excitement starts right here!
Again with the cardboard Silver Age DC characters coming back to replace/gain spotlight from newer, better characters. Aside from some Steve Dillon art on two annuals, name one noteworthy thing about Ray Palmer/Atom. And no, his wife being nailed as the killer of Sue Dibney doesn’t count.
Hal, Barry and Ray = whooptie freakin’ doo.
