The New York City Comic Con is known for big announcements, and this year didn’t disappoint. During a packed Friday panel, DC Comics unveiled a spinoff destined to reshape the universe: Justice League: The Atom Project.

Introducing The Atom Trio

Launching in January, this groundbreaking series highlights three legendary heroes. Ray Palmer and Ryan Choi, known collectively as The Atom, join forces with Nathaniel Adam, also known as Captain Atom. Their mission? To help restore the DC Universe’s disrupted power balance after the chaotic events of Absolute Power.

This new adventure, loaded with atomic intrigue, is co-written by the Oscar-winning John Ridley and Rogue Sun co-creator Ryan Parrott. Interior and cover art by Mike Perkins promises to breathe vivid life into each frame. The series becomes the latest addition to DC’s All In initiative, an effort aimed at engaging both seasoned fans and first-time readers.

The Power Struggle Begins

Here’s what to expect in issue #1: Post-Absolute Power, Earth’s powers are scattered and chaotic. Enter the newly reformed Justice League, aiming to restore order. Palmer and Choi put their intellects together to create a superpower reallocation and backup system, aptly named the Atom Project. Yet, tension rises as not everyone desires their powers back. Leading the resistance, Captain Atom is set on concealing his lost atomic abilities forever.

John Ridley and Ryan Parrott promise a heart-racing spy thriller. Together with Mike Perkins’ art, they aim for a sucker punch of emotion and spectacle that rattles the DC Universe to its core.

Art for the Ages

Fans can look forward to variant covers from renowned artists such as Dan Mora, Kevin Wada, Lucio Parrillo, and Stephen Segovia. Each brings unique flair, ensuring that diversity in style matches the dynamism of the storyline.
