Atlas Des Frontières Insolites

Kandahar… Tom Nolane, Jessica Nate et leurs amis de l’escadron 1/7 Provence sont tombés dans un véritable piège. Nul doute qu’ils arriveront à s’en sortir, mais à quel prix ? Et quel est ce mystérieux Commando 801 opérant aux marges des frontières afghanes ? Les six soldats d’élite français du Groupe Parachutiste Commando chargés de veiller sur le satellite parviendront-ils à lui échapper ? Quant au processeur quantique, il est maintenant clair pour le groupe de talibans l’ayant récupéré qu’il s’agit d’une technologie valant de l’or. Ils ont décidé de le vendre à Anatoli Gurchev, le leader mondial des marchands d’armes. Devant l’importance des enjeux financiers, celui-ci décide d’employer les grands moyens pour sortir le processeur d’Afghanistan. Pour Tom, Jessica et les équipages du 1/7 lancé sur la piste d’un ennemi aussi rapide que rusé, une course-poursuite à Mach 1.6 va s’engager, les menant des montagnes afghanes au portes du désert iranien…

is a fictional superhero team in comic books published by Marvel Comics that enjoyed a series run of eleven issues when it was inexplicably canceled barely a week after the 11th issue release, perhaps due to flagging sales. It is composed of characters originally appearing in unrelated stories published in the 1950s by Marvel's predecessor company, Atlas Comics. The characters debuted as a team in the non-canonical (June 1978)--of course the complete What If? comics series has been previously posted by yours truly, --and starred in the limited series, (Oct. 2006 - March 2007), the latter written by Jeff Parker with art by Leonard Kirk. That limited series was set in the present day and in mainstream continuity. In February 4, 2009 Marvel released the first issue (cover date April 2009) of the ongoing series, launched as part of its current Dark Reign storyline and also written by Jeff Parker. In library terms the ongoing series would now be volume 2. The team, consisting of Gorilla-Man, Jimmy Woo, M-11, The Uranian, Namora and Venus, was one of the better-handled among ongoing Marvel titles and albeit admittedly a second-tier title, some had considered it to be the best among Marvel's superhero team titles at the time of its cancellation.
