Children of the Atom #4 is a wonderful book brimming with energy. Ayalas understanding of these characters makes them brilliant to follow. Throughout the miniseries, the readers have felt like they have known a lot about these five, yet they are also constantly learning more. But their secrets have been laid bare and may get them further into trouble. The art and coloring styles of Medina and Curiel are perfectly suited to capture the extravagant excitement of superheroics and the stark reality of high school to equal effect. Read Full Review

Children of the Atom continues to flesh out its deeply relatable cast of young characters, building its own solid found family that all have their own feelings, thoughts, issues, wants, and goals while still being true to themselves and one another. The art continues to hit all the right notes from both the heavily emotional moments to the action-packed ones, every aspect fitting together like a piece in a glorious puzzle. Just another solid series that proves that teenage-led books not only can work at Marvel but do work and need to stick around long-term with solid creative teams like this. Read Full Review

The writing and artwork on this series remains excellent, I'm just not entirely sure where this story is going or where it fits into the bigger picture of things. Read Full Review

There's a lot going on here, but seeing Marvel Guy's perspective makes for a fascinating issue and that last page reveal could be a game-changer. Read Full Review

Overall, this issue was a drag for me, but a lot of CotA depends on how the themes that Ayala is laying here pay off, so it's a let's wait and see. Read Full Review

Children of the Atom #4 has good art, but the story is a mess. The big mysteries built up over the last three issues are lazily eliminated, and the new mysteries introduced in issue #3 aren't even mentioned. this series is quickly proving to be utterly pointless. Read Full Review

A few shoehorned references to the Hellfire Gala don't really impact Buddy's latest plot to get to Krakoa. What DOES get in the way is the sinister goon squad that attacks the kids the next time they attempt to use a gate. POV character Benny gets a nice healthy chunk of character work; each of these kids is a little broken in their own unique way. The art's beautiful and I love the characters; it's just the fact that the plot points are still coming out messy as hell that makes me hesitate to call this a really good comic.

Ending was good.

The premise of this comic is just a bit too cringy for me.

Little patience, The main plot barely moves.
