"The Coming of Atlas" is a comic book story arc, from DC Comics, by writer James Robinson and artists Renato Guedes and José Wilson Magalháes, featuring Superman. This is Robinson's first story arc on the ''Superman'' title, as ongoing writer after Kurt Busiek's departure. This, as well as Geoff Johns's "Brainiac" arc on ''Action Comics'', lead to their planned narrative unification on ''Action Comics'', ''Superman'' and ''Supergirl'' in "Superman: New Krypton". ==Publication history== (詳細はJames Robinson Named As New Superman Writer ), Newsarama, February 8, 2008〕 In many of his interviews approaching the start of his run, he stated that he always wanted to work on ''Superman'', and also with writer Geoff Johns, comparing the two of them as Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen. In regards to his plans on the book, starting with "Atlas", he made a point that every reader will care about every major character in the Superman universe. Because he had worked on "Batman: Face the Face", he was asked if his and Johns' work on the two Superman books would be the same. He was quick to reply that it would not be, but that it would be, "better than that."〔(The Wizard Q&A: New ‘Superman’ Writer James Robinson ), ''Wizard'', February 8, 2008〕 Robinson believes he has a connection to Superman, as he was "...a working class British guy who came to America and America has given me everything," similar to the immigrant story that Superman's creation was based upon. But in regards to the choice of having Atlas as the villain for his opening arc, it was due to his love for "all things Jack Kirby." However, the other main reason had to do with Superman's rogues gallery, as he felt that: : "he has guys that can beat him punch for punch; fist for fist, Doomsday is obviously the prime example. But they all lack any sense of humanity. Atlas is going to have humanity. The way I like to look at him is like in the Marvel Universe, Namor is a hero but he really skates the fine line between being a hero and a villain, but he stays on the side of the hero. Atlas, skates that line between hero and villain but he ultimately always falls on the He continued to say that Atlas will become a major player in the Superman mythos moving forward and there will be some real twists to the character.〔(GOLDEN AGE JAMES ROBINSON II: Superman ), Comic Book Resources, July 23, 2008〕 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「The Coming of Atlas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
