The All New Atom #22

The cover of this June 2008 issue says it all — the All-New Atom is firing a blaster with fierce determination while surrounded by writhing, translucent worms, spiked orbs, and churning biological chaos, all rendered in José Ladrönn's vivid crimson and amber tones. The cover tagline "Fights for His Life!" perfectly captures the desperate, microscopic-scale intensity on display. With Rick Remender writing and Pat Olliffe and John Stanisci on interior art, this second chapter of "Inside Out" looks like a genuinely wild ride into the strange, dangerous world where Ryan Choi operates best.
