The Atom (Ray Palmer) Appreciation 2019

[WallyWestFlash]

This book description said Ray's first appearance is silver age Showcase #34 but that issue's not on digital yet so for now only this collection has the preview of his introduction

Nice. I don't think I've read Rays first appearance yet.

This is probably my favorite Atom story! It’s a two part fun story where Chronos breaks time and Ray has to fix it.

I loved that series. Great classic stories and beautiful covers.

There have been a couple of cool versions of the Atom. There was Sword of the Atom in the fantasy, adventure style. Which was mentioned above .

There's also the Power of the Atom which was the post crisis relaunch.

And also the Indigo lantern Atom from Blackest night was fun.

Both were great! Let’s not forget one of my favorites which was,
Teen Titans Atom. After Ray was deaged in Zero Hour.

Oh yeah. Ray lead his own Teen Titans team. As a teenager himself. lol.

It was pretty good as well.

This just makes me think "Teen Atom" (as someone else, not Ray Palmer) will eventually become a thing.

I really like the idea of Ray as becoming a teen Atom like how Clark was Superboy before becoming Superman.

I want some flashback stories.

Ryan was basically kinda a teen Atom. Young adult but still. I feel like that was probably the idea that lead to Ryan.

I know Ryan in Rebirth is still in college but what about his original appearance?

He's always been college bound as far as I know, I'm just saying that DC probably wanted a younger Atom or something and just settled on Atom as a college student. With a few exceptions to the time when Ryan was made most new characters that were younger always seemed to be more college orientated instead of younger. There was a time where it felt like DC was scared of using young heroes. I don't know if that's true but that's what I felt on the outside looking in.

i didn't follow dan's titans because, at that time, it felt weird to have a de-aged ray. just couldn't get past the idea that ray should be near the same age as the satellite league.

glad to hear it was a good series.

feel sorry for what happened with half of ray's team.

It was a fantastic series! Highly recommend!!! The series actually deals with his feelings of being younger and how he works through that.
