"The Zeitgeist of Snap City"
From the pages of "Madman" comes Snap City's new superhero group, the Atomics. Originally just a group of street beatniks with bad attitude, the future team members get mutated by exposure to some strange alien goo. At first, they are covered in boils and oddly discolored, and struggle to cope with their fate. Frank "Madman" Einstein helps adjust and discover their new abilities, just in time to help an alien fugitive who crash lands on Earth, pursued by a monstrous man-hunter.
