Crux #17 brings the alien‑world arc to a breaking point. The Atlanteans are caught in a war they never intended to join, and the issue pushes them toward a decisive turning point in both their mission and their understanding of the cosmic forces shaping their fate. The hostile faction reveals knowledge that ties directly into the Transition — humanity’s disappearance. Their awareness of cosmic events suggests the Atlanteans are not just travelers; they’re part of a much larger pattern unfolding across multiple civilizations. *** Read Once and Put in Protective Cover *** Characters Tug Danik Galvan Verityn Zephyre Capricia Writer: Chuck DixonCreators: Chuck Dixon | Paul Ryan | Pablo MarcosCover Artist: Cover Colorist: Frank G.
