Lost cities aren’t the stuff of myth! They exist right under our feet.

When her archaeologist father goes missing, teenager Hel Coates rallies her friends and broth-er to find him. They’ll have to dodge a shady corporation, mercenaries and speeding subway trains while they follow the trail deep into the tunnels under Manhattan—and what they find down there will change their lives forever.

Follow Hel and her friends on a coming-of-age journey through subterranean tunnels, and ulti-mately to the holy grail of lost cities: Atlantis!

Zack Kaplan (Eclipse, Port of Earth) and Alvaro Sarraseca (Magnus, Turok) bring you an adventure story unlike any other, collecting the whole series (issues 1-5).

5.0 out of 5 stars Graphic novel based on Atlantis legends!
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2019
Atlantis adventure, comic-book style!
Thanks to NetGalley and Aftershock for the opportunity to read and review The Lost City Explorers Volume 1 by Zack Kaplan and Alvaros Sarraseca!
Graphic novel full of gorgeous backgrounds, realistic illustrations mixed with a bit of the supernatural and a high stakes adventure! A father is presumed dead but may actually only be missing. His young adult children go with a group of friends to search for him and what they find is more than they bargained for! First volume in an Atlantean adventure series! Journal entries at the end of the graphic novel add to the mystery and built my curiosity for the next book. 5 stars for the action-adventure graphic novel series!
* I received a complimentary copy of this book for voluntary review consideration and all opinions and thoughts are my own.

4.0 out of 5 stars What is Atlantis?
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and artist(s), and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

The cover is my kind of thing, and what initially drew me in. I was hoping for an "Unearthed" (Kaufman/Spooner) type of tale, but I did not get that. While this graphic novel is not 100% what I expected, it was still rather intriguing.

Hel and her brother get news that their father died in an "accident" from some man from a lab company. Turns out, the company seeks the lost city of Atlantis. When there is a hint of possibility that her dad might still be alive, Hel is determined to find out whatever she can from this strange company and find Atlantis through leads that present themselves after her father's disappearance and the theft of his ever-valuable computer, his life's work on Atlantic contained therein.

At the introduction of Atlantis, I was instantly more interested in the graphic novel. I wish there was more actual exploration of the ancient city itself. I feel like this was a good set-up and that further volumes will take the next step in exploration adventure, which was set up rather nicely with the end of this graphic novel as well. Also, great art.

Another aspect I found enjoyable about this graphic novel were the journal entries at the end, with a bit more of a historical factual feel to them as they relate to Plato (the ancient man known for many things, inclusing his theories on Atlantis) and the possible locations of lost cities. It added an extra layer to the world and the mythos involved in the story, as well as hinted at well-known theories that I was already aware of that I am likewise interested in.

Overall, a fun adventure comic with a lot of promise for future installments.

Review Copy from Publisher
I enjoyed The Lost City Explorers, Volume 1, I thought it was okay. It was a very, very quick read. Almost too quick in a way. I liked the art. The style was good, the colors were vibrant. The story was interesting overall.
If I'm being honest, it didn't leave much of an impression. It was fun overall, but I feel like it needed something extra to really grab me. It was just way too quick of a story. The mystery was there, the interest was there, but everything just got resolved way too quickly. The ending was also kind of meh. The build-up that it did have just fizzled out at the end. The satisfaction of finding this lost world was just thrown to the side and forgotten. If I had ended up in the Lost City of Atlantis, I definitely would have wanted to explore it more instead of turning around and going right back home.
I'm happy I got the chance to read The Lost City Explorers, Volume 1. It was an interesting story. It has great art style. I just wish it had a little more oomph to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for lovers of Stargate or Stranger Things!
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019
When Hel and Homer's father goes missing in a tragic lab accident, they have to decide if they're going to accept the offical story or find out for themselves what happened. What occurs will change their opinion on what actually can exist in this seemingly normal world of theirs.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to graphic novels and if I don't like the art, I won't stick around for the story. (Am I losing out on some great stories, I'm sure! Am I going to change my opinion? Eh, not likely.) I really enjoyed the artwork in this story! Realistic enough to match the serious feel of the story, but still rounded out, made a little less harsh, which blended well with the more 'fun' elements of the story. Also, New York is a diverse city, and I was pleased to see that reflected in our cast of characters.

I love stories that blend science fiction and mythology, if it's just searching for a lost city, or if you bring in all the old gods, no matter where on the scale the story is, I'll love it. I will read any hunt for Atlantis tale I can find, and this one was well worth it! I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more adventures from the Lost City Explorers! I'm very curious if the adventures will continue to revolve around Atlantis or if the teens will stumble across other lost civilizations in their future adventures.

If you like any of the Stargate shows or Stranger Things, then you'll probably really enjoy this!

Product came as described. Good quality.

Review of the book: great book that ended with a wrap up on the first story line and a clear lead up to a second story line but sadly the series ends after vol.1. Worth the read though.
