These pinups also look eerily similar to artwork by Arthur Adams. Just saying. #marvel #newmutants

If you’re going to spend a lot of time swimming, a tube top doesn’t seem like the most practical choice of clothing. Then again Namor wears a Speedo, so maybe that’s just the style. But we’re on the cusp of the ’90s, and soon everyone will look like pinups! #marvel #newmutants

The Horn of Doom summons a giant tentacled monster to attack Atlantis, and now the two groups have to team up to stop it. They eventually lure it into an underwater trench and blow it up. Sometimes these Annuals take twice as long to tell the same story! #marvel #newmutants

The fight between the Atlanteans and the New Mutants is about as fun as you would expect, which is to say not very. And while they’re distracted, Ghaur blows the Horn of Doom! #marvel #newmutants

The villains who stole the Horn of Doom appear superficially similar to the New Mutants. So when Namorita and the Atlanteans chase after them, they attack the New Mutants instead. Get ready for another mistaken-identity fight! #marvel #newmutants

Another group of three Atlantean mutants show up to protect Namorita: Sharkskin, Eel, and Undertow. The team is called S.U.R.F. on the cover, but they call themselves “S.U.R.F.E.R.S.” in the issue, and the acronym is never explained. So bizarre. #marvel #newmutants

Ghaur recruits three apparent mutants—Coal, Spike, and String—to steal the Horn of Doom from Namorita. And I won’t spend any more time on these characters, since the quickly disappear and are never seen again in the Marvel universe! #marvel #newmutants

I always enjoy seeing how different artists draw Warlock, but this rendering seems exactly how Arthur Adams draws Warlock. Like, identical. Also, Warlock has the same expression every time his face is shown. Make of that what you will. #marvel #newmutants

“Part of this magic includes a sacrifice, to Set, of an entire race of people.” This is the first we’re hearing of Ghaur’s plans to sacrifice the Atlanteans! So the storyline is less Atlantis Attacks, and more Atlantis Gets Manipulated and Sacrificed! #marvel #newmutants
