The All-New Atom #10-#11

The All-New Atom #10-#11
See, this issue was GOOD. But last issue? It was just nothing. Gail got carried away with the zombie plot, and wanted to show what she could do, and just killed an entire issue (AWFUL), but you could certainly read this issue without having read the one previous, and not miss anything. That's partially due to a very well-done recap sequence on the first few pages. And the fact that they keep referring to every single one of the plot's main themes throughout the rest of the book. So, yeah, I was not looking forward to this issue, because the last one was so bad. But you know what? Gail redeemed herself by just ending the story simply, without going too far into weirdville, and now, it's time to find Ray Palmer...but wasn't that supposed to be a centerpiece of the Countdown series? And why is there only one quote in this issue? (Unless you count the quote from Entertainment Weekly, who rarely give negative reviews - if ever.)
