Overall, Justice League: The Atom Project #1 is a promising start to a new storyline. It offers a fresh perspective on the superhero genre, exploring the complex issues surrounding power and responsibility in a post-crisis world. Fans of spy thrillers, science fiction, and the Justice League will likely find this series engaging. Read Full Review

This first issue has some really interesting ideas, but it's a bit of a slow burn that doesn't quite establish a hook yet. It feels like another piece of the larger DCU, but this first issue doesn't quite establish what the main plot thread will be. Read Full Review

Justice League: The Atom Project #1 is the solid debut I was hoping for considering the quality of the creative team. It delivers a comic that is the bright action adventure that so much of DC's “All In” has been but also delivers the moral debate that John Ridley excels at. It's a comic that stands out in so many ways, entertaining while also making you think. Read Full Review

A team of heroes using their wits and abilities to help people placed in unknown situations is an acceptable reason for a project to exist. You can't go wrong with members of the Justice League for this task, either. Yet this creative team of Ryan Parrott, John Ridley, Mike Perkins, and Adriano Lucas have found a way to mix science, military, heroics, and hidden agendas to create a story where you don't know who to trust. This creative team might have us saying, "Amanda Waller was right about superpowers. Read Full Review

This series can still find it's footing and define Ray, Ryan, and Captain Atom in the new era of the DCU Read Full Review

The Atom Project #1 is a mixed bag. While the creative team introduces an intriguing premise with strong visuals, the overly dense exposition and slow pacing may alienate newcomers. Longtime fans of DCs atomic characters might appreciate the groundwork being laid here, but for casual readers, this issue struggles to fully deliver on its potential. Its a decent start with room to grow. Whether or not The Atom Project reaches its full potential will depend on how the creative team builds on this foundation in future issues. Read Full Review

Justice League: The Atom Project #1has an interesting idea at its core, but the execution is, to be generous, uneven. Ryan Parrot and John Ridley seize the opportunity to focus on the science (fiction) perspectives of DC with underrated and underappreciated heroes. However, the premise lacks a strong hook, and the ending is more off-putting than the creators probably intended. Read Full Review

Though there's a really compelling premise in play, the sketchiness of the art, combined with a very muted color palette, makes the visuals less successful than they should be to compliment this story. Read Full Review

All in all, there seems to be no clear audience for The Atom Project. The book largely ignores the hard science that Atom fans enjoy, in favor of a military manhunt. There are some inventive ideas, but these are few, far between, and confusingly rendered. Read Full Review

I wasn't sure what to really expect from this, but it ended up being pretty solid. Perkins has some great moments throughout this, although there are certain spots that are a little rougher than I would have liked. That said, I did enjoy his art overall. As for the story, I think Parrott & Ridley did a nice job. I'm not sure why they've been paired together, but I liked this. I especially liked the dynamic presented between Ray and Ryan, as well as their interactions with the super-powered kid and Nathaniel in the flashback. All things considered, I enjoyed this start and I think this mini has potential to be pretty good.

If you don't have time to get your family out of the way of a flying car you sure don't have time to react to "punch the car". WTF??? I get what they were going for but it's stupid writing to get the effect you want. The Atom costumes are TRASH and you can't hardly tell which one is which. The word balloons being the same color was idiotic as well. There is a tiny border on them to differentiate but it can barely be seen. I am glad to see Ryan Choi back, always glad to see Capt. Atom, and they got the Dr. Light attitude down pat but those are the only good things I can say about this book. For me it was mainly boring. I'll stick it out a few more issues but I hope it gets significantly better because these seldom seen characters deserve more. more
