Parker details 'Agents of Atlas' plans

Jeff Parker has revealed his plans for the Agents of Atlas following the cancellation of their ongoing series.

The team will return next year for a three-issue miniseries spotlighting one of their most enigmatic members in Marvel Boy: The Uranian.

They will also be making appearances in an upcoming Thunderbolts storyline and the miniseries Avengers vs Atlas, in which they will team up with the Earth's mightiest heroes.

Marvel Boy will investigate the past of Bob Grayson when he operated under the title of 'Marvel Boy' in the 1950s, as well as his emigration from Uranus to Earth.

"Bob is a young man who only knows of Earth from listening to radio transmissions and what his father has told him," Parker told CBR. "He's lived his life in the Uranian Colony

"The current Bob is very withdrawn and alien to this world, feeling very apart from it. The early Bob wants very much to fit in and be a part of it."

The Agents of Atlas will appear in a two-part Thunderbolts story, which begins in issue #139, released on December 16.

The two miniseries will debut next year.
