The All New Atom #18

Wonder Woman and the All New Atom sprint side by side through a rocky, torchlit landscape, clearly fleeing an angry mob brandishing pitchforks and signs reading "No Atom Wanted" and "Wonder Woman Go Home" — it's an arresting image that sets a tense, almost gothic mood. Writer Gail Simone teams with artists Mike Norton and Trevor Scott for Part Two of "The Atom and the Amazon!", and José Ladrönn's cover work gives the whole thing a dramatic, painted urgency that pulls you right in. If you enjoy unlikely team-ups charged with atmosphere and a touch of dark humor, this February 2008 issue delivers a compelling entry point.
