In "When the Monster Wakes!", Namor stirs in the shattered remains of Atlantis to find his people poised for war, having seized a terrifying new weapon—the Hurricane Inducer—without testing it. Written by Archie Goodwin and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Dan Adkins (pencils and inks), this gripping tale sees the Sub-Mariner torn between loyalty to his people and the dread of unleashing uncontrollable destruction. Cover by Marie Severin captures the stormy tension, as Namor's desperate act to stop the weapon sets off a chain of consequences he can't foresee.
