Captain Atom #29

The Shakespearean tagline "To Be Or Not To Be…" frames a quietly striking cover by Pat Broderick: a luminous, fire-wreathed Captain Atom stands poised on the left, fists clenched and radiating atomic energy, while a gray-haired man in a business suit walks away into a swirling purple haze, briefcase in hand — two very different kinds of power sharing one tense composition. Inside, Cary Bates, Greg Weisman, Rafael Kayanan, and Romeo Tanghal continue their run on the series with "A Contrite Heart…", promising the kind of character-driven drama this creative team brought to the title throughout 1989. A solid pick for fans who enjoy their superhero stories grounded in human conflict as much as spectacular action.
