Is this version of The Atom just... Iron Man but shrinky?

Did the new Wonder Woman arc get better after the first two issues? I thought Azzarello’s run was one of the best comics running; can’t wait for the Absolute edition to come out. But I tried the Finch arc and it left me really cold after two issues. Worth going back to?
Yeah. Those things sound like they'd make a super fun game!
I support the lady in the last story and her commitment to the glorious art of the pun.
Why is there a Part 1 but no Part 2?!!?! I can't stand the suspense!
The Z-95 Headhunter had two sets of triple blaster cannons. Each wingtip had three cannons that fired together to create a single blast which packed roughly as much energy as an X-Wing's laser cannon.
You are right about that being an X-wing based on the four cannon setup and split s-foils, but your premise about a…
A joke about the long shelf-life and durability of fruit cakes? Mind = blown.
Absolutely. And I find the button much more ergonomically satisfying than the ones where you have to flip a cover off and on each time. I also enjoy the little burst of coffee fragrance that you get the first time you press the button for a sip. I used to have one of these for coffee and one for cold beverages on…

The Lockheed announcement is a joke. They haven't made any fusion breakthrough at all, they just have a small-scale, fast-development program that they're hoping will lead to a breakthrough. There's no reason to believe fusion is any closer than the "20 years away" that it has always been. Really, watch to Lockheed…
There is no way the US is going to forward station submarines out of Taiwan.
Nuke boats pull into Japan so frequently that they're practically forward deployed there. And, yes, there are a limited number of shipyards that can work on nuke boats, but those are also the only shipyards we're going to have capable of dealing with conventional submarines for a long while. The reactor gets a lot…
Honestly, the best argument for adopting AIP (or other conventional) submarines in the US is the lower training requirements for the bulk of the crew and the faster surge capability (on a scale of hours, but sometimes hours matter). That being said, filling the all-volunteer submarine force is hard enough with our…
SSNs remain at-sea and undetected longer than SSBNs because of the rotational nature of SSBN patrols.
I'm not against these boats, they seem like great additions to allied fleets like Japan and Australia, but they don't seem to offer anything new to the US. It isn't like the Phillipines are going to reopen 7th Fleet…
So based inside their missile coverage range?
Explain how pairing a covert (submarine) platform with a very obvious surface platform that has to refuel all the time is a smart move.
This is definitely a huge jump forward in conventional submarine capability, but near-nuclear is still not nuclear in capability. 10 kts and 21 days is well below what a Virginia, Seawolf, or even Los Angeles can do. The deployable mast and incorporation of UUVs and UAVs are great ideas, but there is no reason they…
SSNs are already forward deployed. It's called Guam.
Where do I get a joystick these days?
I am really amazed at how well the ethernet cord stays plugged into the laptop with the weight of an adult woman on one end and a jumbo jet at climb speed at the other. The cord on my laptop pops out if I move it more than a 1/4" from optimal.
