that does sound rather Solar, Man Of The Atom It is  based on the description, "brighter than a thousand suns", based on the verse from the Bhagavad Gita that J Robert Oppenheimer is said to have recalled at the Trinity nuclear test. Might it have anything to do with the Valiant Free Comic Book Day tease[...]

We knew there was The Harbinger, Savage and Ninjak coming – but this is the first news that there is a Faith series returning to Valiant. Is Valiant Bringing Back Solar Man Of The Atom and Unity In 2021? But also, on the back inside cover page with this image, with the phrase 'The Universe Is Not[...]

Never let anybody say that The Sovereigns wasn't ambitious, hah! Page 10-14: The final stage of the plan does involve getting blown up, yes. Page 15: And yeah, Magnus and Samson (and Turok and Solar and Spektor, in their own ways) all actually saved the world They saved us all! But at WHAT COST, etc. Pages 16-18: Oh[...]

They give with one hand and take away with the other, as in Suicide Risk #20. Solar #8 chooses a very unflattering angle to arrive Seriously, someone will instagram that and you'll be a Meme Of The Atom.

The new version is a little more world weary… or universe weary… about it all though. Solar #3 also goes for the blasé, when changing clothes through molecular manipulation, anyone else in the room just isn't bothered…. Dejah Of Mars #2 threatens death by mouth I really hope no one find this kind of thing erotic… I find it[...]

Because there is plenty to go around… Both imaginary, from Uncanny X-Men... And real! From the dangerous of Amazing Spider-Man… To the dangerous and elderly of Harley Quinn… To the protective of Solar #2… The staged of Saga… The classic of Velvet… The tender of Prophet… Sometimes it's nice to just celebrate a kiss, whatever the reason[...]
