About the title: I often joke that Captain Atom is nobody's favorite superhero- partially because it's true, but also just because it makes me laugh. I kid- because I love! Not because I hate. There are too many sites out there devoted to hating comics. -They are part of the problem. This blog is about the joy that comics bring. Intentionally, or unintentionally... The little things that make you laugh. -It's about how fun comics can be. And in today's case- how fucking awesome!
In issue #30: Captain Atom finds out that his son, 22 year old daughter, her 44 year old fiance (who is his best friend, and her Godfather... and also black), and their Stepfather (you know- General Eiling: Nathaniel Adam's adversary who hooked up with his wife while he was MIA), and his Father (who does not know "Cameron Scott" is the titular Captain Atom) (Yeah- it's a very complicated family dynamic) are all vacationing on a yacht near an area where Black Manta is allegedly up to something nefarious. *phew*
-So, the good Captain flies out to check on them/keep them safe/investigate covertly.

Needless to say he does find Manta's operation, and is immediately captured:
