The three-episode arc that forms the bulk of this short collection is a good, solid, story about rebellion in Atlantis. There are political machinations amidst the fight scenes, and high stakes that don't merely involve some super-villain trashing things, but a real sense of the setting and the people in it. Yes, there's a rather obvious turnaround for one of the characters at one point, but otherwise, it's an effective story, and the artwork is great. The one-off episode at the end is nothing special, a widely used SF trope with much weaker art, but I'll be generous and not knock the whole collection down for it.
