The Fall and Rise of Captain Atom #2
In "Past Imperfect," Nathaniel returns to the 1990s after a quantum explosion strands him in a life far removed from his past as Captain Atom. Now living as an ordinary man with a new family and a quiet existence, he begins to reconnect with the world—until the return of his powers threatens to unravel everything he’s built. Written by Cary Bates and Greg Weisman, with bold artwork by Will Conrad and vivid colors by Ivan Nunes, this issue blends personal stakes with cosmic mystery. The cover, also by Will Conrad, captures the quiet tension of a man caught between two lives.
