Atlas Militaire et Stratégique

À travers l’histoire d’une frégate, devenez le témoin de l’indépendance du peuple américain au siècle des lumières.
En 1778, dans l'arsenal de Rochefort la frégate l’ Hermione est mise en chantier d’après les plans de l’ingénieur Chevillard Aîné. Pendant près d’un an, charpentiers, perceurs, calfats, forgerons et bagnards se relaient pour construire ce navire de près de 45 mètres, doté d’une voilure de 1500 m2, de 26 canons pouvant tirer des boulets de 12 livres. En 1779, Gilbert Motier, marquis de La Fayette, cherche à obtenir de la France un soutien ferme et officiel dans le conflit qui oppose l’Angleterre et ses treize colonies en Amérique du Nord. Louis XVI accepte d’apporter une aide militaire et financière aux hommes du général Washington et ordonne à La Fayette d’embarquer sur l’ Hermione pour combattre aux côtés des insurgés.

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.

After the Agents of Atlas mini-series, the team got it's very first own ongoing Agents of Atlas series. That volume lasted 11 issues after witch it was continued in a minis-series named X-Men/Agents of Atlas. After that another mini-series was published, namely Avengers/Atlas, before the team got another ongoing series simply named Atlas. Atlas was however cancelled after five issues already.
