Crux #11 | Comic - CrossGen - 2002

The Atlanteans split into factions

The pressure from the Negation’s growing presence forces the team to confront their differences:

• Capricia tries to maintain unity but feels increasingly isolated.

• Tug becomes the moral center, frustrated by the group’s infighting.

• Gammid struggles with psychic overload, making him volatile and unpredictable.

     This issue is heavily character‑driven, showing how fragile the group really is. The pressure from the Negation’s growing presence forces the team to confront their differences.
