Sub-Mariner The Depths is an amazing book ... though Namor hardly physically appears in the book. It's an alternate universe book, but it captured some cool aspects that underlie the character.

To be fair, I would say Aaron's a successful Marvel writer, but polarizing, like Bendis. A large segment of comic fans bought and loved his stuff. A more vocal segment didn't appreciate it. I...

Yes. That Avengers run was such a train wreck. So much cringe.

LOL! Thank you! It's funny how many of these reactions I've seen.

IKR? It's unbelievable. If it was anyone else, I'd be excited. Cautious, but excited.

Exactly. I really did not like Aaron's Namor. And I don't want to see THAT become the default. We desperately need Greg Pak, STAT.

Yep. When the solicitation hit, I realized exactly why we've had zero Namor content for ... almost a year? It's cause Aaron was circling back around to finish off the character. I will give Aaron...

Yep. Living in fear.





TBH ... I had basically given up on comics for over a year, so I've no idea what other launches look like. But Namor's last book got a big name, Pasqual Ferry, so I...

LOL! Wut? You aren't eager for Redneck Atlanteans? Namor in OZ? The secret true history of Atlantis? Visceral exploration of Namor's dark violent past???


I'm sorry. But if you are asked...

Of course, Varnae is from pre-cataclysm Atlantis. But he was creepy, cause IIRC, he was created in the era of black and white Marvel horror. He fits in with their horror era, not this superhero...

Pretty much this.

This summer, the secrets of Atlantis will be laid bare.

In NAMOR, a...

Jason Aaron interview about the book. It appears we are going to get the Busiek / Jonas Scharf / Benjamin Dewey method, with one artist handling the present day and another handling the flashbacks. ...

I do think Alexander is a Namor fan and will give us better covers, if they don't saddle him with crappy concepts. Here's some earlier pics he did for fun.


Keanu Reeves as Namor
...

The art is okay, though I know the artist can do so much better, but he's shackled by a concept sucks. Namor is nigh indestructible. This is nonsense, and just degrading. Namor has fought the Hulk...

This day really sucks for Namor fans.

Yes, yes. You can do the "I told you so," dance, Doombot. ;p

It definitely seems like that monkey's paw.


And we aren't the only ones who noticed that ...
...

Ha! I knew they were going to use that Alex Maleev piece. Explains why he did that out of the blue. It's also the best of the three. That last one is just .... going for ugly Namor.

LOL! Yep. El Niño sin Amor. The boy without love. That's been Marvel's take on Namor for decades.

I would have loved, loved, loved, Kieron Gillen's reconstruction of Namor.

Nope. I don't...

I don't think Natlus, or Swift Tide, or even actual Atlantean support characters that have been around for decades, will make an appearance. It will be all Aaron's "take" on Atlantis ... like those...

The solicitation for the first issue.





Prepare for the slings and arrows from the Geoff Johns Aquaman fans.

I wonder if that Maleev art we saw recently will be one of the variant...

And now, I think we know why. Freaking Aaron probably "claimed" the character so he could write this mess.

God. Marvel just hates the character.

A few of them of have been collected and printed, I think. But most of them, as you said, are not in print.

Yes, to both Sue and Steve being written that way often. Like I said, this last GSFF had a very patronizing / colonial vibe, to me -- from breaking into an ancient tomb of another culture to making...
