Following on the heels of his hit 6-issue mini-series, the character once known as the Olympian is back with a new ongoing series and a new identity: Aegis, Son of Olympus!
The issue opens with Aegis in his civilian identity as Alex Kostas, as he and his girlfriend Rebecca Glass move boxes into his new place. Instead of being too close to Ivy University, or being mired in the hustle and bustle of Calvin City, he's opted for the seclusion of a private home nestled on the shore of a forested lake on the outskirts of both cities. Of course, since this is an expansive 6 bedroom home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright-- similar to the famous house "Falling Water"-- it wasn't cheap. But that's not a problem for one gifted with wealth by the Olympian god Pluto.
Meanwhile, a 9-1-1 call received with the Ivy University Police Department from a frantic lab assistant has the Atomic Skull charging through the administration offices. Needless to say, the Action News helicopter is soon overhead covering the event live as breaking news. With a text alert on his cellphone, Alex is quickly in the air to confront the metahuman menace. The fight is relatively brief as the Skull didn't know what hit him at Mach 1. And Aegis is left feeling that something doesn't seem quite right...
EPILOGUE: Through a second story window in the nearby Theoretical Physics offices, Angle Man is seen to be raiding a file cabinet, finding what he was looking for, and disappearing into thin air...
