This looks very cool. I was a fan of DC’s post-Crisis Captain Atom incarnation back in the day. His nuclear powers are very reminiscent of Doctor Manhattan’s, who was based on Charlton’s Captain Atom incarnation. With the possibility floating around that the Watchman Doctor Manhattan has had something to do with DC’s “rebirth,” having another near-limitless nuclear-powered character come back from who-knows-where is very intriguing.

“BLOWBACK, Part one! Captain Atom hasn’t been seen or heard from in years-and even if you think you know what happened to him–you’re  wrong! But you’re not alone. To this day, no one on Earth-not even the other superheroes-has an inkling of the missing Captain Atom’s true fate. At last, the truth is about to be revealed in a saga that transcends not only the meaning of life and death, but the limits of time and space.”
