![]() I've got three more books after this one with which I hope to be won over. I got this book used so I'm glad to say I didn't make a mistake on a full-price impulse buy. I don't think it was enough to bring in the protagonist's father to showcase some sort of conflict as to how the Atom lives his life. I knew going in that this was the publisher's attempt to bring some color to superheroes who are mostly white and that was fine, but I just don't think the writer understood the personal or social conflicts and issues a Chinese scientist would grapple with in becoming a modern-age superhero on American soil. I'm puzzled by the positive hype behind it as Entertainment Weekly awarded it the "Best Ongoing Comic of 2006." I really didn't care for the character at all and felt I didn't know him. I found this book difficult to get through. ![]()
