“Blast from the Past”

Cover by Pat Broderick poses a fascinating visual puzzle: three distinct Captain Atoms share the same image — a massive, crackling silver figure dominates the foreground while a classic blue-suited version and a smaller yellow-costumed incarnation appear within him, teasing the "Secret… or Lie?" tagline about their shared identity. The bold orange-red background and Broderick's dynamic linework give the whole composition an electric, unsettling energy that feels right at home in 1987's DC Universe. Written by Cary Bates with inks also by Broderick, this third issue looks to be a wild dive into the layered mythology of one of DC's most visually striking heroes.
