In the depths of the frozen north, the disgraced genius Dr. Adam Pocalypse—once hailed, now ridiculed for his radical theories on human evolution—has withdrawn from the world that mocked him. From a secret Arctic stronghold, he commands the Critical Depth’s most apocalyptic threat: The Armaceddon, a monstrous, heavily armed super-submarine engineered to trigger global annihilation. Fueled by the mysterious pods scattered across the ocean floor, The Armaceddon powers Pocalypse’s ultimate creation—the Strato-Kraken Device—a cataclysmic engine designed to unleash a planet-engulfing tidal wave. With it, he intends to drown civilization and “cleanse” Earth of humanity’s corruption. Cold, brilliant, and utterly unhinged, Pocalypse dreams of reshaping life itself. When the waters rise and the old world falls, he believes he and Evelyn will seed a new, genetically superior race—guided by his unmatched intellect and forged in the ruins of mankind.
