Adventure Comics #521
In "The Summons of the Ring," Jeff Lemire and Mahmud Asrar deliver a tense, character-driven chapter as David asserts control over the Colony’s mechanical bugs, using their parts to repair vital equipment. With Ray and David on the move, the Atom faces a brutal choice—flee or risk everything to save his father, now held hostage by the Colony’s chilling ultimatum. The cover by Scott Clark and David Beaty captures the moment’s dread, while the interior art by Asrar and John Dell brings the mechanical menace and emotional weight to life.
