Description
Everyone deserves a second chance! Once hailed as saviors, the heroes of yesterday have been rejected and forgotten by the public, and have hidden out in a secret fortress near the North Pole for decades.
But when the Professor--a mysterious scientist who built the fortress--is kidnapped by an evil rival, a young boy rallies the monsters, robots, and caped wonders to once again become the heroes of the Atomic Legion!
Author Mike Richardson and artist Bruce Zick tell a tale of heroes reborn that is peppered with nods to the pop-culture icons of, well, ALL of pop-culture! Half the fun of reading this book is spotting the references to your favorite comic-book, movie, and literary characters!
