Justice League: The Atom Project #6 – Ryan Parrott, John Ridley, Writers; Mike Perkins, Artists; Adriano Lucas, Colorist
Ray – 8.5/10
Ray: Tying in with the events of “We Are Yesterday”, the finish to this sci-fi adventure delivers some great action. Captain Atom has been captured by Inferno – but there’s a stowaway on board in the form of Ryan Choi, who has infiltrated the enemy base to try to free his subject/friend. As Ray Palmer and Mr. Terrific plan how to infiltrate, Ryan and Nathaniel Adam come up with an unconventional plan to get past the control collar and take the fight back to the villain. Overall, this series was a pretty intriguing look at what having cosmic-level powers suddenly does to a person’s mind, and while I’m not sure what the plans are for Captain Atom are after this, it does feel like this series has a lot more compassion for him than most do. There’s very little trace of the militaristic asshole we usually see when he’s in the lead in a role. Intriguing series that did some fun things with the science side of the DCU.

Teen Titans Go! #4 – Sholly Fisch, Writer; Agnes Garbowska, Artist; Sylvana Brys, Colorist
Ray – 8/10
Ray: Sholly Fisch is back on writing duty this month, and that means this issue should be even wackier than the average. After a fight with Blackfire ends prematurely, the Titans decide to answer some fan mail. The only problem is, the letters are all addressed to the Justice League instead. And after getting bored with that, they find a box containing a surprise gift and open it. It’s Amazo, the killer robot who adapts all the powers of the Justice League to attack them. He gets the Titan powers instead – and while he proves to be a formidable foe, he soon gets bored with fighting and becomes more interested in dancing, pizza parties, and bad jokes – just like a Titan. There are constant shifts in tone and story this issue, almost frantically so, which makes it feel very much like a cartoon in comic form. It’s a fun issue, although as always, the Titans’ humor is very much an acquired taste.
