The All New Atom #10

The All New Atom was already turning heads in 2007 — Entertainment Weekly called it "A Mind-Blower" and named it Best New Ongoing Comic of the Year, and this tenth issue shows exactly why. José Ladrönn's cover captures the Atom in his distinctive blue-and-red suit, fists raised triumphantly atop the shattered jaw of a massive, grotesque creature, its decaying hands looming in the foreground — a vivid reminder that Ryan Choi's size-shifting powers make even the most monstrous opponents feel the impact. With Gail Simone writing and Eddy Barrows on interior art, "Jia: Part Two: Unwanted Advances" promises the sharp wit and imaginative action that made this series such a standout.
