Justice League: The Atom Project - by John Ridley & Ryan Parrott (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Expanding the world of DC's hit Justice League Unlimited, these three heroes have one mission: control the chaos before it controls the world!

In the wake of DC's blockbuster storyline Absolute Power, the superpowers of planet Earth are in chaos...and it's up to the newly re-formed Justice League to restore order to that chaos.

Enter Ray Palmer and Ryan Choi, together the size-changing heroes called the Atom and the core of the science team on the Justice League's Watchtower. These brilliant minds have crafted the world's first superpower reallocation and backup system, code-named the Atom Project.

But not everyone wants their powers back, and the volatile hero Captain Atom is hell-bent on preventing his missing atomic abilities from ever being found.

Join Oscar-winning writer John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, The Other History of the DC Universe), writer Ryan Parrott (co-creator of Rogue Sun), and The Bat-Man: First Knight artist Mike Perkins down the rabbit hole of an intense spy thriller that will bring seismic change to the DC Universe!

This volume collects Justice League: The Atom Project #1-6.
