[...] A city is but stone and mortar. It can be rebuilt... but its people have been decimated... and I declare by the blood of the monster that now blackens the water... that our ritual sacrifice is complete.

Notes

Part of the Atlantis Attacks event. The event continues from Avengers Annual #18 and continues in X-Factor Annual #4.
The "Atlantis Attacks" story was originaly meant to take place during New Mutants #87 but it can't. It must take place before New Mutants #77. (Without explaining in full, the key character to note is Storm). This story serves as a semi-sequel to New Mutants #76, as the Horn of Doom plays into both issues.
The second story can also only take place just before New Mutants #77.
SURF return in one of the back-up stories in West Coast Avengers Annual Vol 2 #5.
