Captain Atom #2

Part of DC's New 52 relaunch, this 2011 issue plunges readers deeper into the world of one of DC's most powerful — and most unstable — heroes. Stanley "Artgerm" Lau's cover depicts Captain Atom surging forward with intense focus, his silver form crackling with brilliant energy that radiates outward in sweeping waves of light and heat, a glowing core at his chest hinting at barely contained atomic power. With J.T. Krul writing and Freddie Williams II on art, "Rebuilding Blocks" promises a series that takes its larger-than-life protagonist seriously.
