(W) Jason Aaron (A) Paul Davidson, Alex Lins (CA) Joshua Cassara Blockbuster writer Jason Aaron redefines Namor the Sub-Mariner and his undersea world! War rages beneath the waves, from the lost cities of the Secret Seas to the fathomless depths where the Elder Whales reign. Seven kings, old and new, fight to rule the watery realm. But where is Namor, the once mighty Sub-Mariner? He's sitting behind bars on the surface, with no intention of ever setting foot in the seas again. But barbarian hordes have gathered on the sunless plains of Attumacht Deep, 28,000 feet below the waves. They howl with bloodlust, ready to scour every inch of ocean to find the most hated traitor in all the seas. So begins an Atlantean event that will forever reshape the landscape of the undersea world - while at last laying bare the dark history of Atlantis and its fiercest, most infamous defender!
