The All-New Atom #2: Well, okay, I kind of wish this issue had an essay question to answer, like the last one, but the Scientific Method theme makes up for it. It's as though, for Ryan, becoming The Atom is a grand experiment. At least, he wants it to be as he tests ants as a means of transportation and the parameters of the size-changing ability. He observes the powers, tests them, and sketches atomic fire rockets on napkins whilst eating "Chinese" food. The scientific method doesn't quite line up with the process Ryan is going through, I don't think, but maybe it's not really supposed to. After all, Ryan soon dons brightly-colored spandex and dashes off to learn the life-or-death science of superheroics. And that requires a different method altogether.

Doll and Creature #4: With macabre political commentary (sort of), and lots of 'splosions, the wonderfully morbidly amusing Doll & Creature concludes. I hope there will be a sequel.
Do I Know What I Just Read? Yes.
Do I Care? Yes.
Liberty Meadows #37: Comic strips don't get much more juvenile than this without losing the funny, do they?
Do I Know What I Just Read? Sure...
Do I Care? Kinda.

Fantastic Four #539 is, of course, a Civil War zone. This one focuses on Ben and his home street. Thinker and Puppet Master team up yet again to lay a complex trap for the opposing superhero strike teams. As the villains work to light a fuse on Yancy Street, they discuss their anger management issues and mutual hatred of the Fantastic Four. Stuff naturally goes sour, pushing Ben over the edge and out of the fight entirely.
Note: Sue, Johnny, and Reed are conspicuously absent here.
Do I Know What I Just Read? Yes.
Do I Care? Yes.

Glad to see someone else following Gail Simone's All New Atom. I think Byrne's art is the hinderance here, but I'm along for the ride!
It's a great read, isn't it? I'm not sure Byrne's art is that much of a hinderance, if at all. If he doesn't convey size-changes all that well, he makes up for it in, well, being cartoony. Quirky enough to bring out the humor. Or... something.
Anyway, I like it.
