But Why Tho? - CJ
Aug 14, 2019Agents 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.

Aug 07, 2019Agents 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

Aug 07, 2019This first issue shows how this series is a perfect melding of superheroes and adventure storytelling.

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Aug 07, 2019A wide range of artistic and storytelling talent come together in this introductory issue to paint a thrilling portrait of the sky-high stakes facing the Agents of Atlas. The plot by itself is enough to captivate, and there are hints that it'll be backed with solid character work in issues to come. This is a rollercoaster that's worth climbing aboard. Read Full Review

Well gang, it's looking like Agents of Atlas will be plagued with the same problems New Agents of Atlas had. There are way too many characters for each of them to get decent character development, but Amadeus and Silk did have at least some character moments. Pak doesn't seem to think this is a problem as he immediately introduces a brand new hero and brings Raz Malhoztra or whatever his name is into the fray as well. Parker's second story was much much more interesting and it was awesome to see the rarely used original Agents of Atlas once again

Amadeus fills up all the non-plot space fretting about the burden of leadership and crushing on Luna Snow, ugh. In the B strip, the old Agents roster runs through a pulpier, more satisfying dragon fight. The big picture plot is intriguing, but the backup creators really beat the lead team's brains out when it comes to vibrant art and endearing ensemble characterization.
