The All New Atom #4

Ariel Olivetti's cover for this December 2006 installment captures the playful scale-shifting heart of the series perfectly: a startled young woman scrambles to dodge a massive descending spacecraft while, tiny at her feet, the blue-and-red-suited All New Atom stands his ground with surprising calm. Gail Simone, Eddy Barrows, and Trevor Scott continue "My Life in Miniature" with this fourth chapter, subtitled "Aggressive Ideologies" — and the cover tagline "Everything Is Relative!" feels especially apt given the wild size disparity on display. If you enjoy superhero stories with a sharp sense of humor about perspective and proportion, this one looks like a genuinely fun ride.
