Doctor Solar’s archenemy Nuro issues an all-or-nothing ultimatum. The Man of the Atom runs a gauntlet of transuranic heavy-metal men to stop Nuro from remaking the world and all eternity . . . his way. Plus, the continuing Solar origin saga: falling toward the event horizon of a black hole, scientist Dr. Phillip Solar exists only as a nimbus of data in a quantum domain. Though his eyes have been shredded to quarks, he sees everything. Though his fingers are gone, he touches the essence of existence . . . and suddenly all the power in the universe bends to his indomitable will.

* Industry legend Jim Shooter returns to the character he redefined in the 1990s to overwhelming sales and critical success.

* Part of a major launch of new related titles, including Magnus, Robot Fighter; Turok, Son of Stone; and Mighty Samson.
