A review by hilaritas
Captain Atom, Vol. 1: Evolution by J.T. Krul, Freddie E. Williams II

3.0

Not bad but not amazing either. I have a longstanding love of the character. Pretty much anybody who can transmute matter at will and also rock the "alienated from humanity by my powers" card has got my vote. There are some fun nods to the other glowing blue nude-looking guy who can control the building blocks of reality (cough cough Dr. Manhattan), and the art is pretty in an impressionistic way. But the story doesn't flow and it gets pulled through the motions too quickly to make much impact. I liked the reveal of the big threat, but the resolution was meh. Probably not really required reading for anyone but the diehard Captain Atom fan.
