Brightest Day: The Atom Special #1

In "Nucleus Prologue," written by Jeff Lemire and illustrated by Mahmud Asrar, Ray grapples with a hostage crisis in Ivy Town that quickly unravels into something far more personal. As the investigation leads him back to his past—his brother Danny, his uncle David, and the meteor that gave him the power to shrink—Ray uncovers a clue in the wreckage of his lab that hints at a connection deeper than he ever imagined. The issue's haunting atmosphere and emotional weight are heightened by Gary Frank’s striking cover, capturing the tension between memory and mystery.
