Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers):
The newest storyline from Sensational Wonder Woman is the kind that I can really get behind. Though I love what we see in big collaborations with writers and artists, the writer/artist combo always draws me in a bit more as they’re able to bring what’s in their minds-eye to the page more clearly. This is my first experience with Sanya Anwar as either writer or artist but I really love what she does here. Visually, the book is really solid here with beautiful designs, a great sense of flow even as it jumps through different periods of time, and a cohesive design that still feels unique and exciting. The writing is just as strong as we ge

When Charles Xavier announced a new era of mutantkind, we got a new era of X-Men comics. But Marvel’s latest book in the X-Men umbrella is something new even for that new status quo.
Children of the Atom isn’t about Krakoa, but a team of young superheroes who decline to visit the mutant utopia. These teenagers, the eponymous Children of the Atom, struggle to survive in their typical, casually cruel and bigoted high school, but beyond its bounds they thrive as superheroes, taking up the mantles of their idols, the X-Men.
Will they succeed in becoming heroes? What place is there for them in this changed world? And above all else: Who and what are they?
Children of the Atom #1 Advance Review: A Story In Search Of Its Premise

Children of the Atom #1 defies being discussed. It is a story focused on discovering its own premise a mystery carefully hidden away in promoting the series and far less carefully hidden in the 34 pages building to cliffhanger revelation. That makes it difficult to review or recommend so as to protect the reading experience, but that’s still possible as I’ll endeavor to prove here. However, that doesn’t end the difficulties of discussing this debut because the lack of clear context and motivation when introducing five new characters leaves their introduction hollow. Only at the end of the issue do readers even understand what story is being told, which raises a lot of questions, but no more compelling reasons to continue reading.

The punches pack a little less wallop as we discover America closer to her origins, making her confront the family she left behind.
The portal-punching, expectation-defying multiversal Mujer Joven is back, digging into her New York roots and the family that forged her. While most fans are used to relentless swagger and tough-talking determination, the more vulnerable heroine in America Chavez: Made In The U.S.A. #1 might be a bit of a surprise.
