Captain Atom #1

Why did Captain Atom get a book? I'm not sure. Maybe DC has plans for him in their new universe? So far, it's just not worth bothering with. We already have an all-powerful, indestructable being. He's called Superman. Captain Atom would be better off in a team book. A solo series is just not worth it. It's not a bad read, just pointless. We don't find out anything about his origins, but for a change it doesn't feel like we need to. We can go right into the action, and not feel that lost. But while that should be a good thing, in this instance, it's because it's just not worth caring about. The art does nothing to help the book either. It looks almost like it's unfinished. Very sloppy even. This book is nothing more than a poor man's Superman. And who really needs that?
