Marvel is proud to announce that Agents of Atlas #2 has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level) and will return with Agents of Atlas #2 Second Printing Variant! Join acclaimed writer Jeff Parker and artists Carlo Pagulayan and Gabriel Hardman for this action-packed story! Dark contacts grow stronger when Temujin, the son of Mandarin, and Jimmy Woo finally meet face-to-face. What is Norman Osborn planning now? And how does everything connect to one of the Agents’ 1958 missions? This second printing features an all new cover by red-hot artist Chris Bachalo!

“The art […] is impeccable in both cases. I came out of this chapter wishing there was an ongoing ’50s Atlas book with art by Hardman. And Pagulayan excels in big action moments, particularly wowing with a nightmare sequence of Temudjin’s worst fear.” Charles Webb, comicsbulletin.com

“Let all writers and editors take note, that this is how it should be done, now and forever.” Benjamin Birdie, Comicbookresources.com

“Jeff Parker is one of my favorite writers and Pagulayan really delivered. This is good stuff!” fantasybookspot.com

“Utilizing all genres and spots through the time line, there’s something here for all generations.” Jay Tomio, bookspotcentral.com

“If you want to have honest, awesome comic book fun, Agents of Atlas will be sure to […] deliver.” Brett P., independentcomicssite.net

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Agents of Atlas and all Dark Reign tie-ins as they continue to sell out quickly. Don’t miss Agents of Atlas #2 Second Printing Variant!

Those of you that only think Jeff Parker is a damn fine writer as shown by his work in Agents of Atlas and X-Men: First Class are missing out on his other talents. For one, he’s a talented artist, as well.

This past weekend was the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, WA. Bring on the Bad Guys and Current Events segments host Pat Loika was a guest along with many other talented professionals, among them, Jeff Parker.

Saturday night, I received a text message with the following image attached:

Thank you Pat, for thinking of me. And thank you Jeff, for not only writing Cyclops as he should be written, but for this wicked rendering of the character. The love affair continues…
