The Atom #25

Worst ending ever. Last issue of series.

Panda is dead. Ray Palmer has never heard of Ryan Choi - never corresponded with him. I really don't even care to look through it again to check the details.

The Atom #23

ATTACK OF THE KILLER CREATURES FROM BEYOND! Atom was absorbed by thing from his blood. He surfaces in compressed time world where other 'victims' have apparently been for years. Panda is skinny now, hooked up with Ryan's sexy neighbor/crush. Ryan sees his dead body with its hands around throat of a dead female Chronos. Asshole councilman still alive, still a dick. Monsters attack when it randomly gets dark. Monsters kill councilman's wife. When Ryan tries to lure monsters away, councilman follows, shoots Ryan with his own zapper.
