Atom Jacket #1
James Alexander (July, 2018)
Anthologies today are a good way for creators to get discovered by audiences. Atom Jacket contains seven stories by indie creators. I’ll be curious to see what the shared theme is and what the name means. Let’s get started.

At some point Tom Brevoort should just shut up.
Right now, as Bounding Into Comics has been documenting, Brevoort, current Executive Editor at Marvel, seems to be working to execute his own sales when it comes the main Spider-Man comics versus Ultimate Spider-Man mark 2 (probably volume 85 the way Marvel renumbers everything whenever a new creator takes over) and the continuing war by the Spider-Writers on the Spider-Marriage. As fans see the marriage returned to that version of Peter Parker, they’re starting to use that as proof they should get back together in 616.
That will never happen with the current writers.
Oh, they’ll tease you with it now and then in the hopes of suckering you in, but as Brevoort has been saying on his Substack, they have no intention of restoring the marriage. We know that. He will gladly use dumb excuses why, but he won’t do it. The Spider-Writers have been trying to undo that since the 1990s and they’re thrilled Joe Quesada found a way to retroactively remove it from continuity no matter how stupid and how damaging it was to Peter’s reputation, and they love that Mary Jane’s character could also be ruined. So now Brevoort is pulling a Zac “I don’t know my job is making fantasy worlds” Snyder and continuing to defend their decision in a way that actually makes their changes worse received instead of better.
