    But Why Tho? - CJ Aug 14, 2019

    Agents of Atlas #1is an excellent reimagining of an obscure superhero team, with a creative team willing to do the work when it comes to proper representation of Asian superheroes. Even though this is a limited series, I look forward to the remaining issues and hope that sales are strong enough to justify a transition to an ongoing series; Pak and Leon more than deserve it.

    Agents of Atlas #1 is more of the same lovable Asian and Asian-American cast of heroes getting into strange situations. It's very clearly drawn and written with a deep love, and I'm ecstatic to have more issues in my archives and to have more on the way. Read Full Review
