Rated T+
Anindito does an amazing job with the art in this first issue. The characters look great and the attack on Pan is filled with beautiful details that complement the tone of the story. Read Full Review
A really exciting start to this mini-series. Although nowhere near as grand in scale as the original, it's nice to see Namor back in action and ticked off at the surface world. Read Full Review
We have a fantastic idea of who is fighting and why they are fighting, just not the best idea of what they are fighting for. Read Full Review
The issue is new-reader friendly and should begin a payoff for followers of Pak's work. The debut is an entertaining one and a nice intro for what's to come. While it's not the best Pak has delivered it's still fun in many ways. Atlantis Attacks #1 gives new heroes the mini-event spotlight they deserve. Read Full Review
Atlantis Attacks doesn't feel big just yet as Greg Pak spends most of the real estate on recap and introductions for new readers to jump in. It does enough to get the story going, but not much else and while I am going to continue reading, it didn't jump up my pull list. Recommended mainly to fans of the Agents of Atlas book.

Atlantis Attacks #1 kicks off by bringing the reader thoroughly up to speed with Amadeus Cho and the beef that puts his Agents of Atlas into conflict with Namor. The result is a nice, clear introduction for new readers -- but well-read Agents fans risk getting a little bored. They're also unlikely to be pleased with the ongoing shortage of attention paid to the Agents. A solid conflict, a strong central theme, and some appealing, organically-crafted art all work to keep this initial issue clear of true disappointment, though. Read Full Review
The king of Atlantis is the most interesting part of the story, and though there are one too many folks to keep track of, the first issue does its job well enough. Read Full Review
Amadeus Cho and Namor have a pretty good fight. But that's five pages and the whole rest of the issue is expository recaps covering the twisty status quo of Pan and the Agents. It looks pretty good and some basic action is woven all the way through to conceal the exposition, but this is still an awfully small baby step. The Agents as a team still suffer from a dreadful case of "and the rest," too.
Believe it or not, I was dreading this title. I've been ambivalent about this new Agents of Atlas push by Marvel. I'm not sure how these miniseries have been selling, but I know the solo titles (easily the weakest link) are Marvel's worst selling titles. So, I don't really expect this to last much longer. That being said, Greg Pak is not a bad writer... He's just not great. He's just okay. And that's what this first issue is. It's okay. I'm not excited for the rest. I don't care about Pan. I mean, this issue ends with the original Agents of Atlas meeting this new incarnation, and just based on how weird and creative they look compared to the new team, I'd rather be reading about them. And I know that's a farce because I *have* read Agents o more
