Agents of Atlas #9 (Ongoing)

is a fictional superhero team in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is composed of characters originally appearing in unrelated stories published in the 1950s by Marvel's predecessor company, Atlas Comics. The characters debuted as a team in the non-canonical (June 1978)--of course the complete What If? comics series has been previously posted by yours truly, --and starred in the limited series, (Oct. 2006 - March 2007), the latter written by Jeff Parker with art by Leonard Kirk. That limited series was set in the present day and likewise set in mainstream continuity. In February 4, 2009 Marvel released the first issue (cover date April 2009) of the ongoing series, launched as part of its current Dark Reign storyline and also written by Jeff Parker. In library terms the ongoing series would now be volume 2. Currently--and consistently--one of the best in Marvel's ongoing titles.
