Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special

Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special came out this week from DC Comics.

Here's the official summery: "In the wake of the We Are Yesterday crossover epic, a mysterious Quantum Quorum has emerged… stalked by a lethal enemy that takes no prisoners. The League deputizes a rag tag group of time displaced heroes like Batman Beyond, Gold Beetle, and Helena Wayne to fill the void left behind by the Time Masters and save the quorum from the mysterious threat that’s picking off time-travelers one by one. These Legends of Tomorrow are the only ones standing in the way of this cascading chronal Armageddon with the past, present, and future teetering on the brink in this oversized special leading to the next big DC All In event!"

The front cover features Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Booster Gold, Gold Beetle, the Huntress and Batman Beyond. Batman and Superman does not appear in this special and Wonder Woman only appears briefly. Mister Terrific, the Atom, Red Tornado and Supergirl also appear briefly. This issue introduces a new name and look for an existing superhero that goes by the name of Legend.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow Starts Tonight

Just a reminder that DC's Legends of Tomorrow starts tonight on the CW as Rip Hunter travels from the future to put a team together consisting of the Atom, White Canary, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, Firestorm, Hawkgirl and Hawkman (whew, that's a lot of superheroes on one show):

Convergence: The Atom #1 and #2

One of the most oddest two issue series in the Convergence event from DC Comics has to be Convergence: The Atom. The first issue has a really grim cover with Ray Palmer holding Ryan Choi in his hand after he was killed by Deathstroke.

Ray is trapped in the pre-Flashpoint Gotham City and he hear voices. People think he's nuts and it doesn't help that the only power that he has is that his hand grows big.

He gets his shrinking powers back when the dome disappears but then he has to face Barracuda of the Etremists:

At the end of Convergence: The Atom (June 2015), Ray Palmer realizes that he may not be imagining Ryan Choi's voice in his head.

The cover of Convergence #2: The Atom (July 2015) show both Ray Palmer and Ryan Choi in costume shrunken before Deathstroke:

The issue starts with the battle between Ray Palmer aka the Atom battling Barracuda of the Extremists. He talks to Ryan and finds out that he's trapped in the dimension where their mass goes when they shrink (gotta love comic book science). Ryan is the reason why Ray's had was growing big when he was under the dome.

 Barracuda is a real tough guy and cuts off the same hand of Ray's that he stabbed earlier with his trident. The weird part is that his hand grows into Ryan Choi in his Atom costume.

After the pair defeats Barracuda, Ray wakes up in the hospital with no sign of Ryan. Deathstroke sneaks into the hospital that nightand tries to kill Ray:

Thankfully, the ending is actually happy even though Ray only has one hand thanks to Barracuda. I really enjoyed these two issues and the artwork is great.
