This *was* good news-- second only to WAR OF KINGS for me, on the Marvel side.
DOOM PATROL, huh? I haven't thought of that comparison before.
The publicity around this announcement made it sound like they'll sort of be a reverse THUNDERBOLTS. Good guys who'll have to play the role of bad guys in service of their agenda.
That should be interesting.

This is the most exciting news I've heard in a while! I'll definitely be looking out for it (as well as a copy of the Secret Invasion anthology also mentioned in the article).

Complete Agents of Atlas by Jeff Parker checklist:
Agents of Atlas v1 #1-6 Spider-Man Family #4 Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust Giant-Size Marvel Adventures Avengers #1 (non-MU) X-Men: First Class #8 (Gorilla Man only)
[On a technical point, you could add Incredible Hulk #111, which was co-written by JP and featured Namora, but that was a continuation of Namora's appearances in IH106-107 & 109-110.]

Which story used this group as the "50's Avengers?" (including the 3-D Man) I thought they were used really well in "Avengers Forever."

Thanks for the list. I picked up a copy of the Secret Invasion anthology yesterday -- my store actually had one copy of the first printing left (and a couple copies of the second printing). I would never have thought to get this title otherwise, as I'm not really reading Marvel these days.
It was a nice story (and provided a nice overview of the characters, their powers, and their backgrounds), but a bit short at 8 pages.
Of course, there's the ongoing to look forward to...

Solicited for February, with art by Carlo Pagulyan (Planet Hulk), and since it's 48 pages, presumably a backup by a guy called Benton Jew (who I've never heard of).

*FINALLY* got around to reading the initial mini in time for the new ongoing. Amazing. Awesome. Fantastic.
Honestly, what wasn't to love? I knew I really missed the boat on this one (somehow), so I couldn't wait to get around to reading it, but even with that in mind I was blown away by how good this was. Exciting, fun but serious, bits of continuity but not overloading, great characters--it had everything. The entire Yellow Claw / Jimmy Woo twist, which I had no idea about, was totally awesome.
Gorilla Man is my fave, natch. Breakout character. They all rock though.
Jeff Parker--this guy is on my radar. Whenever I see his name lately its a must buy simply because he's so fresh and different.

#1's out-- and it's a good read! Gorilla Man is just a hoot. Lao's almost as fun. So's Woo. And Venus.
Marvel Boy- Bob- is just weird. I look forward to peeking behind/beneath that.
The whole idea behind the book is a nice counterpoint fitting into the 'Dark' direction Marvel's chosen.

So happy Agents of Atlas has its own ongoing title. The first issue was all kinds of awesome. Pagulayan's art is beautiful, though I'll admit to missing Leonard Kirk's penciling a bit -- I'd really come to associate it with the team.
