Agents of Atlas Vol. 2 #1-11 Complete

is a fictional superhero team in comic books published by Marvel Comics that enjoyed a series run of eleven issues when it was inexplicably canceled barely a week after the 11th issue release, perhaps due to flagging sales. 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 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. The team, consisting of Gorilla-Man, Jimmy Woo, M-11, The Uranian, Namora and Venus, was one of the better-handled among ongoing Marvel titles and albeit admittedly a second-tier title, some had considered it to be the best among Marvel's superhero team titles at the time of its cancellation. As a matter of fact the series had been getting consistently high reviewer ratings. Issue #11 exemplifies the heights a comic book could attain by way of entertainment--delivering drama, action, comedy, and world-class threats, all the while remaining charming and accessible. And I'm not saying that because of nostalgia, either. The Agents of Atlas will have an appearances in the 2-issue miniseries (Oct 7 - Nov 4, 2009) and in the four-issue miniseries (starting Jan 20, 2010). The team also appeared in the backup feature to the one-shot and will be appearing in (2009-2010) and (2009-2010). I hope there will be others more.

There's no enemy quite like a former lover, is there? The gloves are all the way off as Jade Claw and her forces begin assaulting Atlas on every front! The Agents throw everything they've got at the Great Wall, but to no avail. Gorilla-Man is convinced only ONE member of the team can possibly stop the rain of pain...
