I liked the enemy of Proteus - this connection to Nimrod not withstanding. But he was used so poorly - it seemed even cliched. This time around it is much better. Of course, the desolation story is great, And this cover. Great stuff. I'd take that one a HUNDRED times. I liked the bringing back of the twins story - but it wrecks it too quickly. Even with the connection to Proteus. The story has a great build-up. But unfortunately the next issue is nowhere near as interesting. Too bad, because this had potential coming out of its gills.
Silver strikes
The Sub-Mariner side is okay. It had more potential than excellent execution. I wish that the mistaken identities led more to a conflict between the surface dwellers and Namor. Imagine how much could have happened. I even was wondering why Namor had to call him a robot so much - maybe to be revealed next month. The Hulk and Surfer story is one for pondering. THIS could have been a fantastic way to put it together - and could have stretched over issues. HERE is where I would want a story to be extended over time. Unlimited strength versus unlimited power would be a story to read.
Tough call.
But with the contracted story, I lean to Bloodshot.
