This is great news! The only Atom stories I read were the Gil Kane mini-series in the 80's. This should be fun. I look forward to seeing the Superman book as well.

It looks to me Mr. Byrne is having so much fun working @DC. I think we will
never see JB's pencil run across the Marvel characters again....sniff

Any chance you can give some examples Bob because maybe
we're reading different threads!
John's clear opposition to Singer and his Superman is
writ large throughout the thread I've been following,
which makes his 180 to working on Singer's version all
the more intriguing!
I haven't jumped all over his views of the new movie Bob.
As a fan of Donner's film, John's Superman and what I've
seen of Singer's Superman I'm just asking what brought
about his decision to row in behind Singer's story (or
back story).
Maybe he's seen a sneak peek and was wowed by it!

As far as Superman III and IV never happening...
In Superman III we were told that Ma Kent had died. In Superman Returns she is very much alive. So Either III and (Presumably IV) never happened or the new movie is set between II and III. Superman 2.5 as it were.
Great news about The Atom JB.

Yeah, Gail and JB - together again for the first time! Sounds like the old cover blurbs...

I'm sure that whenever Quesada leaves (and he will leave Marvel someday, rest assured, Quesada sounds like he would jump at ANY chance to work in Hollywood!), we will see JB back at Marvel. It's just a matter of time.

JB: SUPERMAN is an adaptation of the first Donner/Reeve movie (some of you may recall DC somehow managed not to get the rights the first time around!) and I have been asked to do the Krypton/Smallville stuff. No likenesses required!
Sounds to me like JB is "working on Donner's version", if anything...
PS: Maybe he's seen a sneak peek and was wowed by it!
Maybe you're mind-reading...

The lst atom I read was the Sword of mini, way back when. The last was JB on the JLA arc. The atom sounds great. Simone and Byrne = success on a plate.

Given your repeated bashing of Singer's Superman John, why are you now working on his version of the mythos timed it seems to promote said flick? ***** As of this morning, I am not. When Dan DiDio offered me the job, it was to be the first issue of a four part adaptation of the original Donner/Reeve movie. Apparently, it has morphed into something else entirely, so I have withdrawn from the project. Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will be continuing on THE ATOM, however.

Well, the ATOM news is fantastic in my opinion. My favourite DC character, illustrated by my favourite artist, written by someone who is now (after her run on ACTION) rapidly becoming one of my favourite writers. Almost makes up for my disgust at DC removing Gail and John from ACTION after only a handful of issues. Almost!

I am really looking forward to the Atom series by two great creators. The Atom has always been one of my favourite DC characters and I'm looking forward to seeing what you will be doing with him.
Sorry to hear about the Superman title.

Too bad to hear about the SUPERMAN project. Anytime you're on the pencils with that character, JB, I'm on board to plop my money down.
But still delighted to see that the same team who did so well with ACTION will be tackling another. Best of luck to you both.

Beats being alienated by ghosts. Or... well, maybe not. :D
Hopefully the aliense will maintain the high standards from your last
collaboration though. And oh yeah, I'm overdue to pick up some
Birds of Prey trades and check them out; I need to do something about
that.

As long as it looks like the red and blue costume designed by Kane I will be happy

Since we are talking of the little guy, I have just sent JB's two issue Ant-Man run, together with other comics, to be bound in my continuing quest to compile a complete John Byrne Library.

I thought Gail and John on Action should have been called "All Star Action", so should this new series be "All Star Atom"?

Congratulations to both Gail and John on landing the Atom gig! I'm really looking forward to seeing this.
Personally, I hope that the new costume isn't a huge departure from the original. Ray Palmers sleek, simple - yet elegant - fighting togs was among the best of the Silver Age.

Reading the solicitation copy this morning, I was very surprised and pleased to read about the Atom. I enjoyed JB and Gail's work on Action tremendously and am certain Ray Palmer (?) couldn't be in better hands.
