Atlas

A six-issue miniseries from the Bluewater/Stormfront/Tidalwave stable, Atlas (2010–2013) follows the globe-trotting adventures of a mysterious, superhumanly strong protagonist whose origins are tied to ancient secrets. The series, known for its pulpy, action-oriented storytelling, was a showcase for the publisher's original superhero concepts outside the Big Two. While specific creative credits aren't detailed here, it represents the kind of creator-owned, mid-2000s-to-2010s independent work that filled a niche for straightforward, modernized genre tales.
