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...

All the issues ... except for Millar's run. That was the worst.

That retcon of Vision got retconed out, IIRC.

No. I don't think Johnny and OG Torch use the same mechanism. OG Torch and Toro both had Horton cells though some retconned history in The Torch...

It was beyond lame.




Given how horrible Jason Aaron wrote Namor, and the crap he heaped on him, I'd prefer it if the writers completely forgot that Namor was in that run.

Exactly. And yes. What was Stingray thinking? Of all the airbreathers, he's has spent the most time with the Atlanteans.




I could be wrong, but I think the first green skinned Lemurian was...

I'm with you there. I was very excited to see that Namor was going to appear in this GSFF book, cause it has been so damn long since we've gotten anything with Namor. Plus, FabNic is old school and...

The only solution is to drop it down a memory hole as something that never happened or is never spoken of again.




At this point we need a monumental reset -- with someone who loves the...

Yes, I scanned the Magneto story. I don't even remember that bit with the key from the Hickman story. But I do remember thinking back then, can't you find someone else to humiliate in their own...

It's the iconic introduction of Namor into the Silver Age and probably the first memorable scene / storyline with Sue in the FF, other than her gaining her powers, so yes, it's going to be referred...

As a Namor fan, I thought it was a crazy and an awful idea when it was first leaked.

But when I saw it, I thought it worked out well, and was true to the core of the character. Plus, we got the...
