I loved the chemistry between Choi and Palmer, but honestly the situation they're put in just makes this comic just plain silly. Everyone acts so stupidly. Even though The Atom is supposed to be an intellectual physicist, the dialogue makes him seem like a simpleton. Death Stroke is a crybaby and everything wraps up way too happily. It was such a waste to even have been written. I was really let down.
