I've decided to go for Sword and Science. It's a genre nobody "has seen before." Atlantis is really my pet project. High fantasy is done to death with Atlantis. I'm going Science Romance.

I dunno. I always thought that the Dune series was pretty sword and science. All the fighting was generally done hand to hand.
 




There once was an island dead west of the sunset,
A place where the sun's rays danced carefree and bright,
Its shores all a-shimmer in white shining beaches,
And jungles aplenty with ga.me day and night.

They say that the people who lived there were happy,
They say that they lived their lives simple and fair,
Yet one day a bitter wind rose from the ocean,
And caught the poor folk by surprise unaware.

For ruin had risen in thunderous fury,
A ravenous shadow fell over the shore,
And when Father Dagon's black gullet gaped open,
The waves ran with blood and the isle was no more.

From the dagon article in Dragon magazine, and IMO the best of the verses in the Demonomicon articles, and very suited to Atlantis themes.
 

Namor the Sub-Mariner, the blue-skinned Atlanteans of Marvel Comics, tensions with the alien-bred Inhumans.

Aquaman, Aqualad, Dolphin, Scavenger from DC Comics.
