Captain Atom is the kind of lower grade superhero character that I grew to love years ago that just has a hell of a hard time making it to the big leagues. He's had his shots to be sure and lots of good stuff over the years (I loved his time in the bwahahaha era of the Justice League books) but there's something about him that just holds him back. The lack of a solid solo book for so long is one of those things that's added to it, so the chance to build up some new fans here is good. While this series starts off a little slow and awkward, especially for new fans, it does have some good hooks that can let the character grow and be explored. I'm cautiously optimistic, but at the same time I have years of history where I've seen how hard it is to make this character work. He's not like others but there's plenty of potential here as we get some decent storytelling and really appealing artwork. Read Full Review
