Synopsis for 1st story

King Namor struggles to unite the council members of Atlantis in his war against the surface. Namor’s current plan is to recruit the ancient offshoot of the Atlanteans known as the Zodani. No one likes this plan, so Namor strikes off on his own, eventually winding up in Zodan after traversing a dark and twisty tunnel. Once in Zodan, Namor is attacked by the royal family, who are not happy that Namor is there to recruit them. They give Namor one chance to prove himself by killing a dangerous monster. Namor goes with Zodan’s princess and kills the monster, then the king tries to kill Namor since the test was actually just an excuse to murder him. Namor flies the king to the surface to fight, but instead finds that Zodan is actually another planet and the tunnel a portal. The king dies of oxygen loss and falls back down to his horrified daughter, but Namor is saved at the last moment by the Silver Surfer’s surfboard.

• The Monarch of the Oceans has declared war once more on the surface world in the pages of AVENGERS. And if this is a war that Namor means to win, he is going to need allies to stand beside him!

• The Sub-Mariner’s quest for a lost tribe of sea-dwellers carries him further than he ever thought possible—and to a reckoning both strange and wonderful!

• And hey, what’s up with that weird apparition in the sheet, anyway?
