Captain Atom: Armageddon
Main Page: WildStorm Titles
Resource:
Overview:
At the moment of his apparent death, Captain Atom experienced a time-shift coinciding with his 2005 appearance in Superman/Batman, resulting in his arrival in the WildStorm Universe. He quickly gets into a fight with an overzealous Mr. Majestic and the fight ended with Majestic soundly defeated. Seeing the frightened reactions of onlookers, and puzzling over his own altered appearance, he realizes that he has somehow become trapped on an alternate Earth, one where super-heroes are feared by the general populace.
Publishing History
After the Wildstorm Universe slowly began drifting out of existence, Jim Lee and the other WS bigwigs devised the mini-series Captain Atom: Armageddon to give the line a collective kick in the pants. Written by Will Pfeifer with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Sandra Hope, the mini spun out of the events of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness’ Superman/ Batman and set about leading up to what Lee described as a “soft reboot” of the Wildstorm Universe. Boasting appearances WS mainstays such as Mr. Majestic, Grifter, Zealot, and the The Authority, not to mention a returned Void. Captain Atom: Armageddon followed the life of a DC hero caught in the dark, claustrophobic WSU. After learning that the Captain is a (literal) ticking time bomb just waiting to explode, the WS heroes battle him and each other in the hopes of preventing the end of their universe. So, read on to witness the end of an era and the birth of what we will all (hopefully) come to know as the real WSU….
