The Atlantis Journal: Captain Blood, Pirats, awesome submarines, and lots of mermaids

Pirate hotel



The entire Disneyland Hotel isn't pirate-themed, but the pool sure is. And they do have a Pirates of the Caribbean suite. This one guy stayed there and took lots of pictures and a video. It's a little more Late Henry Morgan than Jack Sparrow, but you can't fault them for making it swanky.

Captain Blood comic

SLG's doing a Captain Blood series starting next Spring.

Captain Blood movie

And by - as far as I know - sheer coincidence, Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, The Quiet American, The Saint) is also working on a Captain Blood movie.

Pirat Tales

Day Taylor's found a home for his pirate-rodents comic at his old stomping grounds IDW. Congratulations, Dan!

Old diving suits and new subs



Upcool has an awesome gallery of antique diving suits and concept art for futuristic submarines. I had an awful time picking one image to post and I'm still not sure I got the best one. Prepare to have your imagination charged.

Agents of Atlas ongoing



There was a lot of cool news out of San Diego Comic Con last weekend, but easily the most exciting for me was that Jeff Parker's sea queen/killer robot/talking gorilla comic Agents of Atlas will soon become an ongoing series. Way to go, Marvel!

Parker talks more about it here.

Mermaid Lagoon: Tokyo DisneySea

AllEars.net has a nice pictorial of the Little Mermaid attraction at Tokyo DisneySea. It's designed for kids, but it also looks like a fun, cool place for adults to relax.

Mermaid towels



If I had a daughter, she'd have like twelve of these.

Real mermaid found in Malaysia

Pictures here. I know she's fake though, because...

Mermaids are actually mammals

And making them wear clothes is cruel. Science proves it!

Celebrity mermaid fan



Can you guess who's ankle that is? Hint: she played a mermaid in a movie. Sort of.
