Agents of Atlas appreciation 2019

[Woozie]

What new character? I assume you don't mean Wave, who was actually created for the Agents of Atlas team book, and Red Feather isn't new either. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Red_F...II_(Earth-616)

Well Sword Master(God that name is terrible) just updated in chinese and justified why those weapons are a big deal.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to Marvel Comics #1000 today. We see Jimmy Woo taking a very prominent role in the main story. Potentially part of a new team in the Marvel Universe? Fingers crossed!

[Beetle]

I suddenly really want Ewing to get his hands on Jimmy

[Woozie]

Aero updated in China and... wow... that's... kinda hard to believe anyone else on the team could keep up with her.

Yeah, the classic Agents of Atlas got lots of love (not the New AoA though, Amadeus is the only other member who even showed up). Marvel Boy, Namora, and Gorilla Man each had a page, and Jimmy Woo was on several others. The new team is Jimmy, Night Thrasher, Blue Marvel. It would've had Citizen V as well, but by the time Blue Marvel was recruited, Roberto was believed dead (Age of X-Man), Jimmy says he'll miss him. We know that he's reverting back to his Sunspot identity and rejoining the New Mutants, but after their first arc (in which they go to space to find their lost member - presumably Cannonball who'll be with his wife Smasher in Shi'ar space) maybe he'd get in touch with the new 3 Xs.

Said before in another thread that I'm still trying to figure out how this team could work. It seems random. But picturing Blue Marvel smashing stuff, Night Thrasher fighting, Jimmy being the spy, and all three putting their heads together and making plans....I'm digging that!

In other news, here is a preview for the upcoming Agents of Atlas #2 this Wednesday:

Like the facial expressions here. As well as the romantic tension. Looking forward to this!

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I like Isaac and hope he gets to be more than just Amadeus's rival. Even though Amadeus being jealous over Isaac and Luna talking is funny.

[Woozie]

While that wasn't bad, I'm getting real tired of variation of the 3 elementals conbining their powers to resolve the situation.

You include WoR and it's 4 issues in a row.

[Digifiend]

Fail... shouldn't Amadeus have reacted to Isaac calling himself a Champion? That's the name of Ammy's other team!

[Ravin' Ray]

So Isaac knows his D&D (or mythology or heraldry) but Amadeus doesn't?

[Digifiend]

That's a major fail if so, considering the events of Champions #25-27. The team were pretty much turned into D&D characters, and after they got back from Weirdworld, they play a game of a D&D expy. So if he doesn't know the D&D lore, he simply hasn't been paying attention!

what is the sword-master's backstory?

[Woozie]

what is the sword-master's backstory?

Sword Master (god that name is stupid) is Lin Lie, the son of an archaeologist.

He is also unbeknownst to him one of the three heirs/reincarnated heroes based on the 3 creation deities of China.

He's called sword master, because he wields a sword I guess(it's stupid)

But the reason he wields said sword is because its embued with the power of the God tianhuang not because he's some master swordsman.
