	The Atom
		The Atom is gathering information in two modes, as Ray Palmer and as the Atom, and he has to be careful that his "information total" does not reveal his secret identity, to either Jean or Chronos.
		The Atom is shrinking; he is not passing through a barrier such as another dimension or time, as is indicated by the large circle tradition.
		The explanations are usually done by characters the Atom meets, or by the narrator, instead of by the Atom himself.

	Amazon.ca: The Atom Archives: Books
		As a child, I liked my superheroes to have a scientific bent, so the stories about physics grad student Ray (The Atom) Palmer adventuring not only on earth but also in time and other dimensional worlds appealed to me. Plus, kids can identify somewhat with a hero that the adult world towered over.
		Comics from the '60s were all about gimmicks, and the Atom's was that he could shrink, varying from submicroscopic size to about a foot tall.
		The collection includes the introduction of two villains who became favorites with DC Comics readers: Chronos the Time Thief (who used clock gimmicks) and Jason Woodrue the Plant-Master (not only a master gardener but also an exile from a dimension where dryads ruled).

	ComicsPriceGuide.com - Dc question: Why the Atom left out?
		When I say the Atom I am thinking of the Ray Palmer Atom from the Hawkman and Atom days.
		Interested to hear your ideas, input and what you have to say on this question which I take personally as the Atom is one of my top 5 all time favorite comic heroes.
		Why do you suppose Dc has saw fit to for the most part exclude The Atom from all but occasional guest appearances in the modern age.

	IGN: Comics in Context #67: Catch As Cats Can
		In the past I've heard comedians joke that the typically obtuse male reaction when a guy and his girlfriend break up is that "She went nuts!" So, many years ago Jean had married Ray Palmer, the Atom, and subsequently it was decided to have them divorce.
		Having decided she wants Ray back, Jean decided to endanger Sue so that all the superheroes, including Ray, would react by drawing closer to their loved ones.
		(Jean's plot entailed using the Atom's costume to shrink herself to microscopic size.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Tomahawk
		Like the non-superhero that he was, Tomahawk was relegated to the comic's back pages, along with the seafaring Captain Compass and the bigfoot-style Penniless Palmer — but superheroes were even then falling out of favor at DC; and with the 96th issue (September, 1949), Tomahawk ousted Robin from the cover.
		The character was created by writer Joe Samachson (who also scripted the first J'onn J'onzz, Manhunter from Mars story) and artist Edmond Good (whose work also appeared at Quality and Fox) — but the man most closely associated with his development was Fred Ray, a cartoonist who was also a Revolutionary War buff.
		With its 131st issue (August, 1952), Star Spangled Comics became Star Spangled War Stories, and all the ongoing characters were dropped — but by that time, Tomahawk was firmly ensconced in other venues.

	Brad Meltzer Message Board: IDENTITY CRISIS - MASTERMIND IS...(spoiler)
		I realized from #6 that the fact that many of Palmer's stuffs are still in Jean's basement, she has half his patents (until she signed them back) and Atom got to Jean just in the nick of time had bearings in the case.
		Jean has had access to Ray's shrinking equipment/serum all these years in her basement.
		In one hour, Jean couldn't have made it in time for her meeting with Ray, but she was there.

	Identity Crisis (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ray Palmer gave Jean a crossbow for protection, which would be of minimal use against an enemy of the type she was believed to be in danger from.
		After a massive promotional campaign by DC Comics about who might be killed in the first issue, many fans were disappointed when it turned out to be Sue Dibny, a character previously thought to be third-rate.
		Loring asserted that she didn't mean to kill Sue, nor for Jack Drake to be killed, arguing that she sent him the note and the gun in order for him to protect himself.

	Comics - Superman Homepage
		Jean Loring didn't marry Ray Palmer for years of his Atom career because she wanted to prove herself as an independent career woman first.
		Jean then admits she hired the Calculator to hire Boomerang to scare Jack Drake, but that, because she'd left him the gun and note, that he would be able to defend himself.
		Quite frankly, given that Jean was one of the few female supporting characters of the Silver Age not obsessed with trapping her man in either of his identities, it's either unfortunate that she ends up in Arkham Asylum or a calculated statement by Meltzer about such feminist ideals perhaps.

	Calliope Comics presents Musings Online
		Hank Pym, in his role as Giant-Man or Goliath, actually has no real opposite number at Marvel's primary competitor, DC (one of the main reasons why, when fans set up their own rosters for the much bandied JLA vs. Avengers clash, they invariably pit Pym as Ant-Man versus Ray Palmer's Atom).
		Mediocre scripts with nothing to recommend them, art that didn't appeal to a comics audience far more attuned to Kirby style visuals, and frankly awful costume designs all combined to doom Pym's feature from the beginning to low sales and faint fan interest.
		Pym's own feature was clearly a victim from the beginning of self-perpetuating legacy of failure, begun in Stan Lee's apathy and continued through creative mishandling by a bottom of the barrel writer on one hand and an overworked, under-appreciated, and admittedly, inappropriate to superheroics anyway, artist on the other.

	Braving The Hogsback, Identity Crisis, and the Best of 2004!
		But in Identity Crisis #7 Ray Palmer can be seen thinking that there was a reason Jean became his ex-wife.
		A look back at my comics reading in 2004.
		Identity Crisis writer Brad Meltzer has been quoted as stating that one of his goals in IC was to bring back a lot of those great Silver Age DC stories.
