Hi! Hope you're doing well.
I remember you mentioning once that Atlantis Attacks (2020) is good, but I was wondering: is the 1989 crossover of the same name good as well? The omnibus is at sale where I live and I was wondering if it was good.
I am doing well, thank you.
Atlantis Attacks (1989) is iirc the first example of Marvel doing a massive crossover event that was meant to effect the whole Marvel Universe, or at the very least was supposed to bring together all the heroes, however it was difficult for readers to follow due to Marvel putting it in the Annuals of different ongoing series.
An omnibus would be the best way to read it but if you are looking for Namor heavy plot then I would not recommend it as Namor is not a major player and is mostly off the board during the event after the second issue in the event.
Atlantis Attacks focuses on rival factions of the undersea nations all teaming up to attack the surface world lead by (atlantean/barbarians) Attuma, (Lemurians) Lyrra, and (Deviants) Ghaur; Ghaur wants to release the serpent god Set, Namor does show up towards the end. There's fights and stuff if you're looking for that type of action, but it's not a series I would read more than once really as it wasn't something I personally enjoyed. The fact that its called Atlantis Attacks but Namor isn't central to the plot kinda made me uninterested in it. There's also a the Brides of Set plot, where seven super heroines are kidnapped throughout the event for the finale battle/event.
So it's not a bad series but also it's not a great series, I think it depends on reader preference.
