Assault On Atlantis

The Avengers join Namor in an assault on Atlantis to rescue Marinna, who has been captured by the usurper Attuma. They plow through Attuma's initial defenses and are then joined by Alpha Flight. Together they keep Attuma's forces busy so that Namor can directly confront Attuma. Marinna is rescued and Namor defeats Attuma. Namor ends the battle by telling Attuma that he isn't interested in reclaiming his throne, all he wanted was Marinna. However, Marinna is disgusted by her alien biology and flees with Namor in pursuit.
