About the series
In the wake of the New 52 reboot, DC reimagined its nuclear-powered hero with a 13-issue series that grounded Captain Atom in a gritty, sci-fi military thriller. Written primarily by J. T. Krul with art by Freddie Williams II, the run explores a soldier transformed into a living energy being, grappling with his new, unstable powers and a government that sees him as a weapon. This 2011–2012 series matters for its bold visual style and its attempt to redefine a classic character for a modern, post-human era.
