Wonnerful, wonnerful, wonnerful.
I know it's not Ray Palmer, but will the new Atom be a scientist of any type?

Great news, good to have the all-too-soon ended Simone/Byrne team-up back for more (hopefully to last as long as the other Simone penned books have so far).
I don't kno wthe inker, hope he is a good match.
I am not a fan of the Atom, but, as always when JB starts on a new title, here's my chance!
John, you are still "art robot" on this one or have your say in the story as well this time around?

Gail Simone rules. And being a fan of John Byrnes artwork since I was around 5 year old, Im definetly going to pick this one up, and of course the Superman book too. Really cool.

Does this mean that Superman III and IV never happened?
***********
Apparently yes. According to something I read on the internet (!) - "Superman Returns" follows on from the second Reeve movie - III and IV "never happened".

Cool. I've never been a big fan of the Atom before now, but with JB and GS on the job, who knows what may happen...

My thoughts precisely. I've read almost nothing featuring the Atom, but I did enjoy the SUICIDE SQUAD issues featuring the guy newbie filling his role for a time. Also, the one (and really only) thing I really loved about DK2 was the sequence with the Atom. Loved the art, the sudden sense of scale when one realizes he's in a petri dish, and the Silver Age resolve at the end of the scene: It' s been months - maybe years? - that he's been in confinement, and the instant Atom's free, he's basically like, "What's the plan? Let's move."

And I did like what I saw of the Atom in JB's JLA Tenth Circle arc.

I was going to pick up Gail's Atom series anyway, but I'm very glad to hear this. (I just wish it was still Ray Palmer under the mask.)
I am very surprised that JB is having anything to do with anything remotely connected to Superman Returns. But given that this is just an adaptation of the '78 film, I guess it makes sense.

Just a clarification - you are on board as the regular artist on the new Atom series, right, just not for this special, 80 page giant? *** All I have done so far is the preview, but barring unforeseen circumstances, I'm onboard for the duration.

Any chance of a non-spoiler sneak peek now that the cat's out of the bag?
