Lesson plan

Atlantis Attacks

"Atlantis Attacks" was a comic book superhero crossover storyline which ran through most of the summer annuals published by Marvel Comics in 1989. The storyline regards the return of the seven-headed Elder God Set at the hands of the various underwater empires of the Marvel Universe. The title is misleading, as Atlantis and its then-leader Attuma only play minor roles in the story as flunkies for the real masterminds: the Lemurians and their leader Llyra. In 2020, Marvel Comics published a second Atlantis Attacks miniseries, which is unrelated to the original.
