📖 Brief Plot Summary

In Bombshells #75, the action plunges readers deep beneath the sea as tensions erupt aboard a submerged vessel. With the ominous Tenebrus stirring and the Tenebrae growing in power, a chaotic confrontation unfolds between Nazis, the magical Suicide Squad, and the forces of darkness. Trapped in a claustrophobic submarine, every moment counts — one wrong move could lead to disaster and drowning. As ancient evil clashes with wartime terror, alliances are tested, and sacrifices become inevitable. ⚔️🌌🌊

📚 Notable Arcs or Storylines

  • Rise of Tenebrus: The slow-burning subplot involving a cosmic, eldritch force culminates in this tense undersea battle.

  • Magical Warfare: The Suicide Squad, bolstered by magic-wielders like Enchantress and Raven, confront the supernatural more than ever before.

  • Submarine Stand-off: A rare and atmospheric setting intensifies the stakes — no escape, no backup, only survival.

🧠 Fan Theories or Interpretations

  • Symbolism of the Deep: Fans interpret the underwater setting as a metaphor for characters confronting their inner darkness — a literal and figurative descent.

  • Tenebrus = Trigon?: Some speculate that Tenebrus may be a reimagined version of Trigon, given Raven’s involvement and the apocalyptic tone of his rise.

  • Suicide Squad as Redeemers: This issue further develops the idea of the Squad not just as tools of war but as redemptive figures fighting evil in a morally grey world.
