Agents of Atlas Appreciation 2020

[Digifiend]

Of course, still waiting on Atlantis Attacks #4 and #5. Marvel just holding out until King in Black starts properly?

Yes, they've already been resolicited and #5 is a tie-in. Not long to wait now.

hoping to see more of Wave!

i think she should get some power-up. like namor giving her the neptune / poseidons trident. or may be a secret twin version of the trident.

the trident acts like thors hammer giving her mighty powers.

may be she discovers she has an atlantean blood line or is a descendant hailing from the olympian poseidon.
this combined with her powers allow her to wield the trident like no other before her.

bring her speed, strength and durability maybe close to that of Janes Mighty Thor.

Fixed that. Also the only lineup I care about.

Been rereading Jeff Parker's original run recently. Would recommend it even all these years later

I'm with you. I have no idea why they tampered with that perfect team.

A preview of Atlantis Attacks #4 has arrived in the CBR previews; so excited for the release on Wednesday!

Finally! The wait has been kinda agonizing in its own way.

Speculation:

With the way Marvel has been getting projects to film and television could Agents of Atlas(in some incarnation) be coming sooner?
Think of the ways they've already gone through Avengers, Defenders, Runaways, Fantastic Four, X-Men, New Mutants, Inhumans, upcoming Eternals and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Various X-titles aside that leaves not much else. Champions, New Warriors, Thunderbolts and Agents of Atlas are on the short list.

Would fans prefer a movie saga or extended TV drama?

TV drama leaves more room for character exploration, interaction, and development, in my view. Considering the current Agents of Atlas have been a series of miniseries, each one could be adapted as an individual, probably relatively short, season in the vein of the upcoming Disney+ MCU series like Falcon and the Winter Soldier, or even WandaVision.

They'd probably have to scale the team back a little and maybe make Shang more of a lead since I don't see MCU Jimmy Woo really fitting into something like this.

I guess the question is if they'd introduce any members before doing something with the group. Or maybe they'd mix this version with the classic version.

.....Not just yet with a TV show. We're still getting a handle of the characters in the comics. We establish that first, then we can do a show.
