Bob Grayson of Agents of Atlas gets a solo series that goes into his past. Back in 1950, he appears for the first time in a rocket to help the U.S. Navy defeat what looks a lot like a SHIELD Helicarrier, but isn’t.

He takes down the enemies inside as well, who look a lot like HYDRA but they’re not. (And he looks a lot like Quasar, but he’s not.)

Don’t let the fact that this all appears to be derivative stop you from reading this series, though. It’s a blast.

Bob is from Uranus, and he came to Earth on a diplomatic mission but was immediately concerned about how warlike humans were. He wanders New York City for a bit and gets offered a starring role by Timely Comics.

After getting approval from (a person who looks a lot like) Martin Goodman, publisher, he gets a rebrand as the new Marvel Boy and learns about having a secret identity.

From there, he helps prevent some terrorist attacks, goes back to his home planet for his father’s funeral, and decides to return to Earth to be a superhero. The book ends as he joins the Agents of Atlas.

Each issue also reprints old Bill Everett Marvel Boy stories from the Golden Age.
