Synopsis: Ryan suspects that whatever's causing the problems in Ivytown should be found in his blood if it's related to usage of the belt. He shrinks himself into a sample of his own blood and finds a weird creature organism thing. :o It tries to kill hiim and he escapes and grows big again.
He sleeps for 3 days ignoring calls from the Dean, his dad and Jia.
Ryan grabs Panda and tells him to help him figure out what's in his blood. He blows up a sample of his blood and tells Panda to freeze one of the organisms so they can study it. However when Panda tries to, the organism grabs him and grows huge and attacks Ryan! :O
Review: Yus that's rly all that happened in this issue. >_>
It was mostly a lot of him angsting while being in his blood. :\
This new creative team doesn't seem to "get" Ryan, at least not from how Simone wrote him and developed him :\ Ryan here is mean, he's a lot angrier and seems to have a real edge to him, instead of the happier, more optimistic and tongue-in-cheek Ryan that Simone wrote. :] I miss that Ryan :(
And since when does Ryan cut Panda and the professors out of his life and his research? He's always had them helping him in the past, but now he's just all super angry loner? o.O It makes no sense that he'd have nobody monitor him trying something risky lying going so small into his own blood D: It's just more stuff that makes the characterization feel off. :(
Panda also seems less like Ryan's best friend than somebody annoying who Ryan tolerates :(
Why does Jia suddenly care about him? She always just seemed to be using him. Maybe she's up to it again? I'm glad that Ryan put her picture down tho. It's about time he got over her considering the flimsy circumstances he met her in in the first place (saw her at a dance... wow.. that's a lot of interaction! >.<) and he has Giganta now doesn't he? I mean srsly they had actual chemistry xD Tho she's on Salvation Run tho :( It's sad to see that cut short by another DC crossover D: But still, so he should be way over Jia. XD
It was neat to hear about Ryan's thoughts regarding his mom's death due to cancer and his own fears that one day cancer will claim him too. I think that rly added something to his character and stuff :]
But other than that... nothing much else happened :( Just small creatures in his blood and then big creatures coming out of his blood :O
>_>
I guess we'll see where this goes in the next issue but this one didn't impress me at all :(
Stupid daylight saving time XD I need to go to bed :( I was hoping to get the GL review up but I have a lot of thoughts on that and I'm too tired to write them out right now... hopefully soon tho! :D
Neways.. this issue was boring rly and the characterization was all off. I wouldn't recommend it :(
Angelwings Rating: 2 out of 5 angry Ryans
Recommendation: Maybe for hardcore Atom fans, but otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this book since not much happens at all, and the characterization is all off :\

...you know, that is *so* what I thought Umbrella Academy was going to be like before I read the reviews. ^_^
Also, I'm not sure that starting out with the whole "the previous writer's explanation was all bullshit" premise regarding the weirdness in Ivy Town was such a great idea either.
