A review by marc_lucke
Agents of Atlas by Kris Justice, Jeff Parker, Leonard Kirk

4.0

This could have been an alienating deep dive into comics history, but it manages to stay charming and fresh throughout. Excavating obscure, decades-old characters and bringing them into the modern world is ambitious and fraught with all kinds of literary and political pitfalls. Parker addresses the racism and xenophobia which underwrote so many stories from the 1950s, contextualizes them in-universe, reclaims the characters and manages to craft a nice little action/suspense yarn while doing so.
