Agents of Atlas is a fictional superhero team in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is composed of characters originally appearing in unrelated stories published in the 1950s by Marvel's predecessor company, Atlas Comics. The characters debuted as a team in ''What If'' #9 (June 1978) and starred in the 2006 limited series ''Agents of Atlas'', written by Jeff Parker〔Richards, Dave. ("The Marvel Universe Now with Extra Pulp: Parker Talks ''Agents Of Atlas''" ), ''Comic Book Resources'', May 19, 2006〕 and with art by Leonard Kirk.〔("The Weight of the World on his Pencil: Kirk Talks ''Agents Of Atlas''" ), ''Comic Book Resources'', May 26, 2006〕 ==Publication history== This group of heroes, which was not a team in 1950s comics, was established through retroactive continuity as having been formed in the 1950s. They had appeared as a group in the non-canonical ''What If'' #9 (June 1978) and then reappeared in ''Avengers Forever'' (1998-2000 miniseries). The limited series ''Agents of Atlas'' #1-6 (Oct. 2006 - March 2007) was set in the present day and likewise set in mainstream continuity. The series emerged from what writer Parker called "a huge editorial hunch" at Marvel, and said the revival of the characters "is something that () Mark Paniccia was looking at and (which he ) thought specifically of me, and asked me what I would do with it".〔Montgomery, Mitch ("Jeff Parker and the New Adventures of Old Marvel" ), Silver Bullet Comics, September 27, 2006〕 Paniccia says the idea came to him when he picked up a copy of the ''What if?'' story and found the cover "intriguing; it instantly tickles the nostalgia bone".〔("Secret Avengers Reassembled? Paniccia Talks ''Agents of Atlas''" ), ''Comic Book Resources'', May 12, 2006〕 The team made a brief appearance in the "The Resistance", an eight-page story that was part of the Secret Invasion crossover story arc.〔''Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust'': "The Resistance" (by Jeff Parker and Leonard Kirk, one-shot, Marvel Comics, August 2008)〕 Parker and editor Paniccia said in July 2008, that the former will write an ''Agents of Atlas'' ongoing series〔Richards, Dave. ("CCI Exclusive: Parker and Paniccia on ''Agents of Atlas''" ), Comic Book Resources, July 24, 2008〕 which is one of the titles launching as part of the Dark Reign storyline.〔(Marvel's "Dark Reign" Solicitations ), Comic Book Resources, December 5, 2008〕〔(Jeff Parker: Mixing the Agents of Atlas into Dark Reign ), Newsarama, December 18, 2008〕〔(THE OSBORN SUPREMACY: Agents of Atlas ), Comic Book Resources, January 12, 2009〕 That series ended after eleven issues but the title relaunches as part of the "Heroic Age" under the title ''Atlas'' because, according to Parker, it not only makes for a smaller logo but it is a "natural progression to what most people call the book and the team." The series was cancelled with ''Atlas'' #5. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agents of Atlas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
