The All-New Atom: My Life in Miniature

Gail Simone and Eddy Barrows kicked off this DC series by shrinking scientist Ryan Choi down to microscopic size, forcing him to navigate a world of terrifyingly scaled threats. The single issue sets up a premise where the Atom must use his intellect and shrinking abilities to survive in a miniature realm, reimagining the classic hero for a modern audience. It’s a compact, high-concept start that hints at the inventive, character-driven storytelling Simone would bring to the title.
