This issue delivers on the promise of the first two. It is moving and tragic, but conveys an overall triumphant spirit in its main character. It will be curious to see where this story goes next. Read Full Review

Overall, this is a solid mid-point for the character. Unlike many of the other Rebirth titles coming out recently, The Fall and Rise of Captain Atom seems a lot more character driven, which is a welcome change and sheds light on the book's historically bland protagonist. Check it out if you have any interest in fleshing out your opinions of the Captain. Read Full Review

The "new" Captain Atom is stronger, more stable, but sporting a new set of colors that may foreshadow trouble. Solid entertainment for the rebirth of a familiar character. Read Full Review

While the saga is set for a limited run, Bates is definitely setting up Captain Atom for loftier plans. And if it stays at this level of quality, I'll definitely be on board for an ongoing series. Read Full Review

This miniseries is at the halfway mark and by bringing him back into the present we get to see Weis and Bates working to reshape him back into the fold. There are plenty of things to deal with in this regard that the next couple of issues can deal with but it also leaves me hopeful for the character to find a good place to set up shop with, either in a team or with his own book. A redemption arc is always good and the character is one that, while awkward in some ways, has a long and solid history within the DC Universe that has plenty of potential still to be mined. The team here is definitely showing that and it's another solid, engaging, and thorough! installment. Read Full Review

The Rise and Fall of Captain Atom #3 continues the high quality storytelling of the first 2 issues. The writers seamlessly weave in elements of time travel, but do not go overboard so as to ruin our suspension of disbelief. Read Full Review

It's a well-told personal tale, and a credit to DC's current line-up. Read Full Review

All in all, The Fall and Rise of Captain Atom #3 is a beautiful comic to look at in which not enough happens. Hopefully future issues will pick up the pace, or at least give us a better exploration of Captain Atom as a character. Read Full Review

While this issue didn't "wow" me like the previous issue, it still maintained my interest as it tried to bring me up to date with what Captain Atom's new powers are and what the military has planned for him now, but even with that it was a bit of a rehash since it seemed like we were back at square one with our hero and his involvement with General Eiling and Dr. Megala.  The art in this book was great, but the story seriously slowed down here.

The Fall and Rise of Captain Atom #3 is a little bit of a disappointment. The story bogs down quite a bit in the beginning and doesn't really find its feet until about halfway through. It makes for a slow read. The emotion in this issue is as strong as you will find. The grief comes off the book in waves at one point. The art really stands out whether it is expressive facial features, unique page layouts to maximize emotional impact, or using camera angles to capture expressive body language. If you are already reading this series, it's definitely worth a look. Otherwise, unless you are a huge fan of Captain Atom, this one might be worth skipping. Read Full Review

I really like this story. I hope this spins out into a new Rebirth title.

Pretty solid so far, Captain Atom is a character I am fond of, even if he is often stuck between being Charlton's Superman Knock-Off and the Legacy of Doctor Manhatten. This comic manages to give him his own style and voice with a story that is fitting to him. Good Book, I would definitely pick up a Captain Atom Ongoing if that is what DC ends up doing from here.
