The New Atom

[celldog]

How old is this guy?? He's a college professor. But he looks like he's 15 years old.


Is anyone liking the book so far?? I do.

 

[BrianWilly]

He's supposed to be a prodigy of sorts. I'd put him at around 24-27 years old.

I've been enjoying the book. It's straightforward newbie superhero fun.

A lot of Far East Asians look like they're in their teens while nearing their 30s. I'm just waiting for Simone to just write it as fact first before speculating.

I'm giving it a chance coz of Gail Simone. Byrne seems to be the best artist to give a scifi/fantasy feel for a book like this. He's done it before in other books (I'm thinking his Fantastic Four Run actually...) But for me I have to wait a couple of issues to make a full judgment.

24 to 27 years old?????

Byrne made Jimmy Olsen look like he was 12!

I think it's Byrne. But I still like the book so far.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's just Byrne. Even Byrne's old people look like weird teenagers in makeup.

 

[Darthphere]

Dont all asians look alike anyway?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hey, I'm part-Chinese, *****e.

 

[Darthphere]

Hey, I'm part-Chinese, *****e.

You gut hurt because its true.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it totally is. But I'm only part-Chinese, so the other parts of my ethnic background allow me to look like an individual.

 

[Darthphere]

Individual what?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

An individual badass.

 

[Darthphere]

An individual ass.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Don't misquote me. It's in bad taste.

 

[Darthphere]

misquote me.

Ok.

If you believe that.....I know someone who can sell you the Brooklyn Bridge for a penny. 'don't all asians look alike...' HA!!!!

The Anatomy of a Joke. Some will take it seriously, most will not.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The ones who take it seriously make it even funnier for the ones who know it's not.

Ok, I'll continue to be a *****ebag since I'm so good at it.

Wow, I never thought you knew that about yourself. Kudos.

 

[Darthphere]

Im a 12 dollar ****e, who doesnt mind his own business

Damn son, dont be so hard on yourself.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ok, that doesn't even remotely resemble what I said. Quit breaking the rules, ass clown.

Sick.

 

[celldog]

I guess there's not much to The Atom, huh?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nice pun.

 

[Stealth_Prime]

what can you say about someone with just a single power??? Maybe DC will invent a special entity and call it: SHRINK-ALLAX. (God I hate their ideas sometimes.

At least with the Flash....even through they had a single power....they came up with many diverse ideas for that power was to be utilized. With GL, they had that cool turning to the dark side thing which they backed out of and 'convientiently' created.....(ugh! I'm so disgusted with them about GL-Parallax thing)
And Fish man....ooops, I mean Aquaman...well he stood up against the Crime Syndicate....along with the MM, so if its not the power...its the attitude.
Hope this new Atom can at least have the latter.
