Atari Force Volume 2 – DC – (1984–1985) – #1–20

📘 Series Summary

Atari Force Volume 2 is DC Comics’ ambitious direct-sales continuation of its early-1980s sci-fi adventure line. Set twenty-five years after the events of Volume 1, the series reunites readers with Martin Champion—now an older, battle-tested hero—and introduces a new generation of recruits drawn into a universe-spanning conflict. The story centers on a dangerous cosmic enemy whose vendetta against Champion threatens countless worlds, forcing the newly formed Atari Force to travel across dimensions, alien civilizations, and turbulent frontiers to prevent catastrophe.

Running from 1984 to 1985, the series showcases Gerry Conway’s dynamic, character-driven writing paired with José Luis García-López’s masterful, fluid artwork. Together they craft a sweeping space opera that balances high-stakes action with emotional depth, legacy storytelling, and richly imagined alien cultures. Each issue builds on an expanding mythology, exploring the burdens of leadership, the scars of past wars, and the challenges of forging unity within a team of wildly different backgrounds.

With only twenty issues, Volume 2 remains a tightly told epic—accessible to new readers yet rewarding for fans of the original run. Its combination of polished artwork, strong plotting, and classic 1980s sci-fi sensibilities has cemented it as a cult favorite among collectors of DC’s more experimental cosmic titles.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Complete 20-issue saga featuring the second-generation Atari Force team.
  • Stunning artwork by José Luis García-López, regarded as some of DC’s finest sci-fi illustration.
  • Gerry Conway delivers a mix of action, character drama, and sweeping space-opera storytelling.
  • Expands and modernizes the Atari Force mythology for the direct-market era.
  • Blend of team dynamics, cosmic threats, and legacy themes reminiscent of classic 1980s DC sci-fi.
  • A definitive collectible for fans of Garcia-López art, Bronze-to-Copper Age sci-fi, and overlooked DC gems.
