Marvel Comics has kept us in the dark on the much-hyped and anticipated series Children of the Atom by Vita Ayala and Bernard Chang, but we can rest easy today as it has been announced it will return January 2021. Senior Editor Jordan D. White already confirmed it was coming, but now that confirmation comes with a date.
In a press release sent by Marvel Comics, Ayala said, “I have never known a world without mutants and the X-Men, and to be able to create characters that would become part of the canon is WILD,” when the book was first announced. “What makes the new cast special to me is that they are reflective of a lot of people I know who look up to what the X-Men stand for, and have taken it upon themselves to further those ideals. These kids are exactly the kids who, in real life, have posters of Storm and Wolverine in their rooms, who grew up seeing them as heroes and want to live up to that.”
