Jeff! How could you!?

Having Wolverine show up to sully the Agents of Atlas!!

I’m somewhat kidding. But still… ugh, I hate Wolverine guest appearances. But on the bright side, maybe it will attract even more interest in our beloved agents.

I do hope that the 3 issues will be released in floppy form at some point.

When Wolverine was first suggested I did have my initial rejection-response that I always do with him, but within thirty seconds it made perfect sense to me how they could interact- pretty naturally since it happens in the 50’s.

You get to see Ken Hale chest punch him, so it’s totally worth it!

I’m glad you have a rejection-response for Wolvie always at the ready.

But I see your point here. Plus as I said elsewhere, it is set in the past. Which means it’s going to be a less annoying version of Wolverine. And Ken Hale knocking Logan around? What more could you ask for!

Hey, anything that could serve to drum up more interest in AoA is good for me! Any samples of art form Benton Jew? I saw his name in the solicits for AoA # 1. Whenever I hear his name, I get thirsty for some odd reason.

Which do you write first, the comics or the blog headlines?

Butch, Benton usually works on films and it’s hard to round up what comics work he’s done. But he’s in the Hulk Family special out this week, I think.

Well, a digital comic-book. Is new way for expansion AOA and good because you are the writer and no another. You had the control to play with characters.

I have a very important question Jeff: this comic-book will be included in the future in Agents of Atlas ongoing series or in trade paperback? The story of Wolverine had effects in AOA series?.
I question that because i have the GSMA Avengers, Spider-man Family 4 and SI: who do you trust?: all appareances of Agents of Atlas and i like continue buying this. Digital comics are good but i like also the paper version if it´s possible.

I will read the first free issue but i think the others are closed and must pay.
When i try to read Age of Sentry 1 Marvel said it are free but i only can see two pages. It is normal?

PD: At last, this month publish dark reign and the story of AOA.

It looks like that the Online Comic will be reprinted as an extra in the back of each issue of Agents of Atlas. Here’s the unclassified solicit for Issue #1.

Written by JEFF PARKER

The heroes of the 1950s are back with big plans for the 21st Century! When Federal enforcers under the hand of NORMAN OSBORN burst into an armory under control of the Atlas Foundation, Jimmy Woo’s Agents go head-to-head with the new powers that be. How it all goes down will make the playing field of the modern Marvel Universe more volatile than ever!

Also, love the Gorilla Man variant cover. Hopefully each issue features one member of the team. So glad that the best character is featured first.

why did you do that to Che? why did you make him a mind-controlled puppet… when Che is a revolutionary hero…. i think thats disrespectfully to everything he has done and stands for.

Wait… Che and Fidel weren’t influenced by mind-control bugs? I’ve got to stop using Wikipedia for my research!

Next someone’s going to tell me Jimmy Woo’s team didn’t rescue President Eisenhower from the Yellow Claw.
