So, apparently it was announced at NYCC back in October that Atlas Comics is coming back. They've got an exclusive partnership with Walmart to distribute merchandise, including a line of collectible action figures with Mego...
There's also the obligatory (these days) movie deal with Paramount.
While I have some nostalgia for Atlas and Jim and I used to bandy around ideas for how Atlas could be relaunched, I think that maybe a third of the characters need to be forgotten, a third could be cool with some revamping, and a third are good "as-is" but unfortunately might not standout in a crowded marketplace. Spawn seems to have nabbed Grim Ghost's schtick, for instance.
Anyway, there's a good chance they'll get me to pick up a few issues.
