i liked it. the bit with the rat was well done. the "am i a monster" plot line is getting laid on a little thick. kinda feels like mid tier anime season, but overall not bad

An interesting take on the Captain, while I enjoyed it, I can see why the series was canceled after 13 issues. I really wish they would have included the entire run in one trade, especially since the final volume isn't due out until late next year.

Not bad but not amazing either. I have a longstanding love of the character. Pretty much anybody who can transmute matter at will and also rock the "alienated from humanity by my powers" card has got my vote. There are some fun nods to the other glowing blue nude-looking guy who can control the building blocks of reality (cough cough Dr. Manhattan), and the art is pretty in an impressionistic way. But the story doesn't flow and it gets pulled through the motions too quickly to make much impact. I liked the reveal of the big threat, but the resolution was meh. Probably not really required reading for anyone but the diehard Captain Atom fan.

Read at the recommendation of a friend of mine. Needed more Dr. Ranita.
