Marvel Comics has sure been publishing a lot of #1s recently, which usually means they are dedicated series or they are not going to have a long shelf life. One of the latest issues I picked up at Conquest Comics in Bayville was Atlantis Attacks #1. Written by Greg Pak, "The Serpent In The Tower Part 1" had assisting Pak Ario Anindito as the artist and Rachelle Rosenberg handling the coloring. This #1was one that I was glad I picked up.
While the War of the Realms was taking place, Jimmy Woo assumed control of the Atlas Foundation. Woo sought out dynamic young heroes to ensure that the Pacific was protected from the expected destruction that was sure to happen during this particular timeframe. Amadeus Cho was chosen to lead this group known as the New Agents of Atlas. Some of these heroes included Cindy Moon (Silk), Pearl Pangan (Wave), Ami Han (White Fox) and Lin Lie (Sword Master).
Mike Nguyen, the CEO of the Big Nguyen Company, is heralded as the founding father of the Portal City of Pan. Cho doesn't exactly trust his intentions. Pan is made up of many sectors of Asian neighborhoods, including Shanghai, Seoul and Manila. A sacred dragon, that was stolen from Atlantis by the Lungmen, is where the power is coming from to run all of Pan. Isaac Ikeda, the Protector of Pan, appears to be the one keeping the dragon in check. Because the dragon isn't fond of being held captive, it sometimes gives off a howling sound which can create the presence of other dragons who may want to cause some damage.
This whole scenario doesn't please King Namor. Namor visits Seoul with the intention of attacking its residents when Cho, also known as Brawn, confronts him. With Brawn appealing to his sense of decency, Namor decides to give them one day to return the dragon. Will the New Agents of Atlas and the Original Agents of Atlas be able to come to some sort of understanding so that Atlantis and the Portal City of Pan coexist peacefully? Or is more destruction on the horizon?
