Don't think so. They put out the last solicited issues, I think, and that's that.

I think all the story arcs were ended, but not sure if they finished the Atlas Unified crossover or not.

I have it on solid (very solid) information that Atlas is not finished as a publisher. You should look forward to a return with exciting new material...

No offense, but we've heard that before.

That said, I hope they do return. Though not the greatest books in terms of art or story, they were interesting (if oddly parallel to the Valiant line) concepts and Atlas has a solid catalogue of characters.

Wulf was the only one I read, but I liked it and I was hoping they might continue with him in the present day following the crossover.

None taken, but it's a guaranteed return. Believe or disbelieve as you choose...

Well that's good to hear. Hopefully they come back with more secure funding and a better business plan for producing a quality product and shipping on time. Good stories will cover for sub-par art, but there is just no coming back from late shipping.

I look forward to their whimpering past the finish line on this one.

They solicit TPBs every so often but I keep seeing these TPBs get resolicited. Atlas is very much showing a blueprint of how not to do a relaunch.

If and when Atlas Unified is done then I'm offically through with them.
Know this: I would rather be hated for being honest for my opinions, than being loved as a liar!
