First of all, we have to welcome Michael Wm. Kaluta as our new cover artist. The one I have here is just a sketch, unfortunately. But the finished cover is astounding. As is the preview for next months. Anyways, we start out this issue with the JLA visiting Atlantis. Unfortunately they're visiting for Authur's funeral. They finally find out that the Dweller was Authur, and then someone shows up, that looks like a copy almost of our young Arty, but with more fishy features, and kills him. So we got Atlantis ruined from the Spectre's attack, Mera back at the helm but unsure how to rebuild, the land of Dyss who sent the odd looking young man to kill Authur, Topo who keeps talking of "hatches" and this issue finally gets everyone's attention so that he can explain just what they are, Tempest who has lost a year of his life his powers and his wife and son, this young Arty who now has to protect Topo so that the soldiers form Dyss don't attack him and Atlantis loses the use of the "hatches", and when they all get back to Sub-Diego they find out that Black Manta has taken over. Are these guys ever going to get a break. Well Tad Williams is a the creative helm, and Shawn McManus is the new penciller, it seems. I say that because unfortunately he never sticks around for long. We got a lot of plot lines going, I just hope we can keep up on them all without becoming to confused. So far I like it, I'm just wondering where we're going with it all.
