This issue's got all the answers! Why did Nathaniel Adam sign up for Megala's experiment? How did he become Captain Atom? Do his powers have any limits? And what's the deal with those numbers? It's time to explore the past, present, and future of Captain Atom as he tries to stop a catastrophic event even though he's already too late!
The art by Freddie E. Williams II is still as good as I remember from the first few issues and writer J. T. Krul continues to tell some intriguing stories that are as much sci-fi (if not more) than super-hero tales. Worth a look. Read Full Review
Now, I know JT Krul is an easy target, especially post-'Rise of Arsenal,' but there isn't much here to praise or shit on him for – this just exists. It's like the skin flap on my dog's ear – it serves no purpose, it doesn't harm her, but it isn't worth doing anything about. In the case of this book, it has already been rendered useless, it isn't good enough or bad enough to create waves, and doing something about it means buying it, something I don't plan on ever doing again. And the shame of that is that over the past few years Captain Atom was involved in some great stories – his role in the 'New Krypton' saga was inspired, and he was a great part of "Justice League: Generation Lost." Inevitably, Atom and his mohawk (oh, the mohawk) will find his way over to "Justice League International," and hopefully he begins to revert back to the character that once inspired Moore, instead of the one that steals from him hand over fist.
