2 reviews this week, DC Comics Fall & Rise of Captain Atom
(by Cary Bates!) plus a look at the anniversary issue of My Little Pony Frienndship is Magic #50 (the’re on #50 already!) –
FALL & RISE OF CAPTAIN ATOM #1
Potential. This book contains potential. Charlton’s good Captain hasn’t really gotten a fair deal since his series that followed the Crisis. With bad things happening to his biological structure, the man in the silver suit can only ask, “Did I kill anyone today?” Plus, could the changes done to the DC Universe over the past few years be to blame?
Is Captain Atom a way to recapture an earlier version of the DCU?
Only time will tell.

MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC #50
It seems like just yesterday when issue #1 came out. This was a comic that kids were coming in to ask for 3 months prior to it coming out. And I was never more happy that issue #1 sold out. I could have done without all the phone calls asking me which character was which though. Who would have guessed that it would hit the 50 mark?! And the extended page count is really put to good use. A 50th issue that is worthwhile. And for all you pony fans, yes Derpy does show up!
