[Jonathan Ammon · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've not read a bad issue of Defalco/Ryan FF, but apart from the early Lyja issues Atlantis Rising and following is a low point in the run. A significant portion of them (specials and Fantastic Force) are not Defalco/Ryan but it is all part of the same storyline and for much of this collection too many balls are ijnthe air at the same time.

First story interesting

Atlantis dreadful as j remember it from nearly 30 years ago

[Raime · Rating 2 out of 5]

DeFalco's run continues to be fine but the Atlantis Rising crossover brings the rating down

[Ryan · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first half of the book wasn’t bad but the title story “Atlantis rising” wasn’t really my thing. If I knew all the side characters from fantastic force better it may have improved my feelings.
